EXCLUSIVE: Amidst an industry-wide search for the next breakout horror project, Fox Entertainment Studios has snapped up Bleed the Night, a spec by Keith Cooper and Zoe Cooper, based on a story by Cooper & Justin Dyck.
Bleed the Night opens with a lonely teenager answering a mysterious ad reading “MUST LOVE BLOOD.” She then meets a charismatic young vampire who offers her the friendship and freedom she’s always craved — turning one summer night in 1994 into a bloody crime spree that tests just how far she’ll go for her first real friend.
Mark Ankner is producing for Mountain Top Pictures (Ponyboi, Slanted) alongside Adam Goldworm via his Aperture banner (upcoming Horrorstör, Hannibal). Dyck serves as executive producer. While unconfirmed, we’re told the team is actively meeting with directors with an eye toward shooting in Q1 2027.
Keith Cooper and Dyck come to the project after partnering on the 2020 horror flick Anything for Jackson, as well as QC Entertainment’s forthcoming horror-thriller Casket Girls starring Gabrielle Union. Cooper wrote and Dyck directed both of those titles; the duo also jointly produced the former. As a director, Dyck has also worked on Shudder’s Creepshow. He and Cooper are repped by WME, Aperture and Ashley Silver at Brecheen Feldman Breimer.
Zoe Cooper is repped by WME, Gotham Group and Stuart Rosenthal at Goodman, Genow, Schenkman.
