Guardians of the Galaxydirector James Gunn has revealed that he ’ll be presenting a new project during Sony ’s Hall H control board at Comic - Con 2018 , and the teaser image indicates it could be aBloodbornemovie . Though he ’s presently best - bed for bring Marvel ’s roving banding of space Hero of Alexandria to the enceinte screen , Gunn ’s filmmaking roots are firm in the revulsion musical style , with picture likeSlither , Dawn of the Dead , and ( more recently)The Belko Experiment .

One matter is certain : James Gunn hassomethingto show at this week twelvemonth ’s Comic - Con . The film director posted the teaser image below to his Facebook page , and the time match up to Sony ’s scheduled Hall H dialog box . The metal background and blood - red letters certainly suggest that the secret project is a horror movie , and the scratched symbol resemble the Heir rune fromBloodborne . Check out Gunn ’s post below , along with the Heir runic letter for comparison .
Now , this may be a bit of a stint , since the symbolisation in Gunn ’s post is n’t on the button like the rune fromBloodborne- just resonant of it . However , between Gunn being known for his repugnance certificate , this being a Sony panel , and the law of similarity between the two mark ( in good order down to them being itch into a dark desktop ) , it decidedly seems like a possibility . Sony has recently been trying to understand the success of its television biz property over to the picture show side of things at Sony Pictures , witha film adaptationof theUnchartedgames already in developing . Bloodbornewas a striking , sell more than 2 million copies within the first few months of its departure , so it makes sense that Sony would need to capitalize on that further .
Video game movies have a bit of a bad report , mostly due to the fact that , well , they’reusually not very good . However , this year’sTomb Raidermovie reboot proved to be amodest successearlier this twelvemonth , gross $ 273 million worldwide , and Hollywood still seems determined to rap into the winner of the video game market , which generated well over $ 100 billion in receipts last class .
If Gunn ’s project is n’t aBloodbornemovie , then our next best guess is that it ’s another original horror picture show likeThe Belko Experiment , which was script by Gunn and directed by Greg McLean . Gunn is currently set to directGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3for Marvel Studios , but since that wo n’t release until 2020 at the downright earliest , he has time to spare for a smaller project in the interim . Whatever it is , we ’re for certain looking forward to regain out more on Friday .
