Aumeum Collet-Sera may not be able to keep my mind regularly when someone thinks of modern A-list executives, but the man's name probably deserves more respect. Since turning the middle budget Liam Neeson thrillers like "Traveler" In solid hits to the directing of massive franchises, such as Disney's "Jungle Cruise", the man did it all, and often does it well. Collet-Sera cut his teeth into the genre of horror, a genre in which he had not worked for a long time-but he returned.

Finally, Collette Sera made his welcome to return to horror with the upcoming "Woman in the yard" of Blumhouse. I was lucky enough to visit the set of the film last year, with the production that took place outside Athens, a Georgiadorist in the Athens studio, just over an hour out of Atlanta. Collet-Sera, who previously directed the 2005 "Wax House" remake And the fan-oblique "orphan" seemed to be in his element.

The film is centered on Ramona (Daniel Dewaler), a woman affected by sadness that survives a car accident that took her life to her husband (Russell Horsby). Ramona was injured and left to take care of their 14-year-old son (Payton Acksexon) and six-year-old daughter (Estella Cahiha) in a rural house. One day, a woman dressed in black appears in their yard. The Okwui Okpokwasili is getting closer to the house and it quickly becomes clear that its intentions are malicious. Ramona must pull it together to protect the family from this mysterious woman who will not leave them alone.

"At first, I'm afraid because I was like," Oh, all. This comrade is used to any toy, any long-term recording, any of this, any of it, "said producer Stephanie Alin (" hustle and flow, "dear white people"), talking about working with a Coley-Sera on a smaller production after he returned to Jungle Cruise and Black Adamon. "He spent the last five years in that world, all he wanted was the opposite. The kind of movies I do, like this - not so much money, not such a big cast - it was just the perfect psychological space in which he wanted to be. He realized it really seriously."

Colet-Sera worked up, making low to the middle Horror movies like "Orphan" who were loosely inspired by a true storyUntil making slightly larger medium-budget thrillers, such as "non-stop" for several years, as well as the movie "Blake Lively-Voden Shark" in 2016. In the end, his film production attracted Disney and Rock's attention, which attracted him to give the "Pirates of the Caribbean" to another classic thematic attraction of the theme park, "Cruise of Jungl".

It was a $ 200 million monster, at one point, to get a sequel despite changing the box office because of the pandemic. However, NSONSON wanted to work enough with him that the wrestler-a prostate actor is the task of a Collet-Sera Finally to take out his film "Black Adam" from DC. Given how long that film was in development, getting into the finish was a great achievement. But the film failed to meet commercial expectations and was caught in the middle of many other nonsense behind the scenes in DC and Warner Bros..

Not only were these two giant productions both came up with unique stresses. As a result, the director decided it was time to make a step back and a lower budget -driven, original horror movie about Blumhouse. We failed to talk to Collet-Sera during his visit, as he was in the middle of a busy last day of production, but all we talked about talking very high about him, underlining the idea that the director was back in more comfortable territory.

"He is the first artist and a second of the director. An artist, which means whatever it takes to be creative," Horsby told Colet-Sera. "It's the kind of person he is. That's what I got out of work with him." The actor also called him "maestro" before resisting what Collet-Sera did against what he did with this film:

"He made some great films with great actors and what not. I feel, however, that he finds his element more in these genres of pictures where we can understand it together.

"You would think that the director of this caliber would have needs both desires and demands, but he had nothing," Allen told the director, Who has actually ended his hit thriller on Netflix "Carry-on" While they were in the production of the "Womanic in the yard". She said Collet-Sera is shockingly dedicated to the film all the way. "He would drive to the airport after wrapping on Friday, boarding that plane, which is two hours," Alin revealed. "It made it difficult for departure. Get on that aircraft, fly back to LA, dinner with family, work on the movie. He returned. He paid for it all."

Speaking of "wearing", that film also served as a bridge between the Collet-Sera and the leadership of this film, Daniel DeViller, who was extremely complimentary to the director. "It's my man," she said. As Alin said as we circled the set, sometimes actors and directors have "that job" - a relationship that fosters excellent collaboration.

What I can say from my experience is that the director really seems to be in the zone. We had to watch a little recording, and on the surface, it was nothing exciting-just a close shot of Ramona's son that loads a bullet into the rifle chamber. However, Colet-Sera has made multiple downloads, feeling that the impact should have some energy for it. This recording will probably only be in times of screen time, but the director realized that everything is important. He was trying to drain every ounce of relatively limited time and resources.

Although it was at the end of the required shoots, the crew seemed to work for a Collette Sera. This is precisely the kind of director that fits perfectly into the "Blumhouse Productions" mold. We are talking about the studio that gave us "purification", "insidious", And the big movie about the comeback of M. Night Chyamalan 'Visit', Among so many others, and this is a kind of horror fans, they should be happy to have behind the camera.

The "Woman's in the Yard" hits theaters on March 28, 2025.
