Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The Argentine spin-off rights to the alien horror film "Jimmy and Stiggs" — written, directed by, and starring Joe Begos and released by Eli Roth's The Horror Section — have been optioned by Sebastián De Caro, who will direct the project. Rather than a straight remake, the film will follow new characters facing the same extraterrestrial threat in Argentina, expanding the universe into new territory. The project was featured at the MorbidoGate IP Showcase at the Cannes Marché.
