"Bloodlines" is helmed by directing duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, known for the live-action "Kim Possible" TV movie. Jon Watts, director of the MCU "Spider-Man" trilogy, developed the story treatment and serves as a producer alongside his wife and manager, Dianne McGunigle. The screenplay was penned by Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick, the latter of whom co-wrote "Ready or Not."
The late Tony Todd, who made memorable appearances in the first, second, and fifth films as the mysterious coroner William Bludworth, also returns in one of his final film roles. This installment will reportedly delve into Bludworth's backstory and childhood memories, revealing how he gained such an intimate knowledge of Death's design that he has become its de facto spokesperson.
