The Lair: Neil Marshall creature feature aiming for May production start

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

In recent interviews, director Neil Marshall has been saying that it's possible he could be making a sequel to his 2002 werewolf film Dog Soldiers (buy it HERE) soon – but before that happens (if it does), Marshall is going to be making a different action-packed creature feature, The Lair.

Back in November, we heard that The Lair would be Marshall's return to "full-blooded horror and intense genre action". It will tell the story of 

a downed Royal Air Force pilot who escapes a terrifying bunker in Afghanistan containing mutant man-made biological weapons, and unwittingly brings the creatures back to a US Army base.

While doing press for his newly released movie The Reckoning (watch it HERE), Marshall told Bloody Disgusting that The Lair came out of his desire to 

come back and do a creature feature. I wanted to do some monsters, and just kind of combine elements from Dog Soldiers and Aliens and Predator and things like that. So it’s a full-on monster movie with action and explosions and blood and guts and everything. We are just putting the financing together, with plans to shoot in May."

Hopefully filming really will be able to start in May, because the sooner the world gets a new Marshall movie with monsters, action, explosions, blood, and guts, the better.
