The incredible actor Michael Greyeyes just signed a deal with Blumhouse

Something that you can To infer from this deal is that Jason Blum and his partners saw what Michael Greyeyes did as the heavyweight principal of their “Firestarter” remake and they want to lock this guy down before the rest of the industry sees him.

Greyeyes plays JohnRainbird in this remake, a role played by the very misinterpreted George C. Scott in the original Drew Barrymore film. Rainbird is a cunning assassin who is obsessed with death, especially as the lights go out in his target’s eyes. He believes that the secret to the universe’s great unanswered question can be found there. So when he’s sent after a poor little girl who just has the ability to start fires with her mind, you know that’s bad news.

He’s a disturbing character as written by Stephen King and after seeing the intensity Greyeyes brought to his previous work in stuff like “True Detective”, “Wild Indian” and “Blood Quantum”, the sky is high. the limit to how much more terrifying this character will be in the new movie.

Obviously, Blumhouse’s big bosses think he got him out of the park. In this industry, money speaks more than words, so if they sign Greyeyes for a development deal, you know they’re all-in.

Time will tell what kinds of projects he brings to the studio. The obvious idea would be the genre since Blumhouse is indeed built on its blockbuster horror films, but remember Blum also produced Spike Lee’s “Blackkklansman” and Damien Chazelle’s “Whiplash”.

Like I said before … the sky is the limit.
