The upcoming horror thriller, intriguingly titled ‘Mice', is Bruckner's exciting new venture with the acclaimed entertainment company A24.

He also directed episodes for the chilling ‘Shudder Creepshow' series. Needless to say, this guy knows his monster under the bed stuff really well, and ‘Mice' promises to be another spooky treat.
Playful yet secretive, the team behind ‘Mice' has kept the lid tightly closed on the plot details. It just adds to the eerie aura of mystery surrounding the project, leaving horror fans biting their nails in anticipation. The suspense is certainly real, and we can only guess what creepy crawlers or scare-jumping surprises Bruckner has in store for us this time.

They've got a track record of sending some serious shivers down the spine, having penned stories like ‘Doodles', ‘George Romero in 3D', and ‘Something Burrowed, Something Blue' for the fourth season of ‘Creepshow'. Besides, they have also written and co-directed several unsettling yet captivating short films.
The project ‘Mice' marks a milestone for Spence and White as their first script to be sold to a studio. Pinning them down with A24, renowned for its critically acclaimed horror flicks like ‘Hereditary' and ‘Midsommar', hints that ‘Mice' could be another gem in A24's menacing crown.
It's still a toss-up which of Bruckner's projects will see the light of day first, whether it's ‘Mice' or the remake of the B-movie classic ‘The Blob'. In the rumor mill, there's also talk of Bruckner having chats with ‘Hellraiser' reboot producers about a possible sequel. But fans hoping to see a revival of ‘Friday the 13th' from him might be a tad disappointed.
The director spent nearly two years trying to resurrect the ‘Friday the 13th' franchise. However, those plans fell through and he has sinced moved on to other projects, expressing his lack of interest to circle back. Coincidentally, the ‘Friday the 13th' property was recently picked up by A24 for a TV series project, hinting at another interesting development in the world of horror.
It's stupefying to think that ‘Mice' is the first time Bruckner is pairing with A24. Considering the spine-chilling filmography of both, their collaboration promises to be horror gold.
