Charles Band’s living puppets are making a return for an upcoming reboot. In fact, they’re all returning again in multiple films since Di Bonaventura Pictures and Caliber Media have partnered up to develop a brand new take on Band’s cult classic horror film franchise Puppet Master.
Their intention is to produce a number of storylines within a new Puppet Master universe. The producer are already moving forward with the first installment entitled Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich with eyes set on S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk) to pen the script and expand the mythology.
Jack Heller for Caliber Media said,
We couldn’t be more excited to take the series in a new direction while embracing all the practical effects and terrifying insanity that fans of the PUPPET MASTER films love.
Band is fully involved with the project and will serve as the executive producer. He plans to announce the collaboration with Dallas Sonnier from Caliber Media this weekend on stage at the Texas Frightmare Weekend.
A director is not yet attached to Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, but a search is quietly underway.
Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich Synopsis
The storyline for THE LITTLEST REICH follows a recently divorced young man who discovers a mint condition Blade doll in his deceased brother’s closet and plans to sell the toy at a convention in Oregon celebrating the 30th anniversary of the infamous Toulon Murders. All hell breaks loose at the Postville Lodge during the auction when a strange force animates all of the various puppets throughout the convention as they go on a bloody killing spree.
