variety.com/2017/film/news/jack-black-eli-roth-the-house-with-a-clock-in-its-walls-1202473030/Jack Black, Eli Roth Join ‘The House With a Clock in its Walls’ Horror Movie Jack Black will star in the gothic horror movie “The House With a Clock in its Walls” and Eli Roth will direct for Amblin Entertainment and Mythology Entertainment. No start date has been set for the project, which has been adapted by Eric Kripke from the 1973 John Bellairs book, which was illustrated by Edward Gorey. The story is set with a recently orphaned 10-year-old boy named Lewis Barnavelt moving to the town of New Zebedee, Mich., to live with his mysterious uncle — who turns out to be a warlock, while his next-door neighbor Florence Zimmermann is a witch. The titular house was previously owned by a couple who had dedicated their lives to black magic, and plotted to bring about the end of the world through a clock hidden in the walls, where it eternally ticks. Mythology’s Brad Fischer and James Vanderbilt will produce with Kripke. The exec producers include William Sherak, Tracey Nyberg, and Laeta Kalogridis. Black will next be seen in Sony’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.” Roth’s reboot of MGM’s “Death Wish,” starring Bruce Willis, has been set for a Nov. 22 release by Megan Ellison’s nascent Annapurna Pictures distribution operation. Mythology is in post on “Suspira” with Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, and Chloe Grace Moretz. The news was first reported by Deadline Hollywood.

He has joined Jack Black and Cate Blanchett in the cast of The House With a Clock in Its Walls, the Universal/Amblin adaptation of the 1973 John Bellairs horror book illustrated by Edward Gorey. Eli Roth is directing. Eric Kripke wrote the script based on the novel, which tells the tale of a recently orphaned 10-year-old boy who discovers a world of hidden passageways, magic and danger in his uncle’s old house. MacLachlan will play Isaac Izard, the sinister original owner of the house. Deadline reported in August that Blanchett was landing a co-starring role. Mythology Entertainment’s Brad Fischer and James Vanderbilt are producing with Kripke. The exec producers include William Sherak, Tracey Nyberg and Laeta Kalogridis. MacLachlan, who reprised his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper in David Lynch’s recent Twin Peaks revival, also just reprised his role in IFC’s Portlandia, whose eighth season premieres in 2018. He also is aboard with Maria Bello and Josh Wiggins in the indie high school drama G.L.O. (The Giant Little Ones). He is repped by UTA, Management 360, Special Artists Agency, and Jackoway Tyerman.
