Craig Singer's new horror film, 'The Block,' stars Tony Award-winner Jack Falahee as Mitch James, a writer battling a severe case of writer's block and a dangerous obsession with a fan. The movie, currently in post-production, delves into the protagonist's descent into a cycle of creation and destruction, exploring the extreme measures artists might take for their work.
This project reunites Singer with horror writer Robert Dean Klein, following their previous success with '6:45.' Singer views 'The Block' as a "philosophic fable for our times," particularly relevant in the rapidly evolving, AI-driven creative landscape of 2026.
The ensemble cast includes Thomas G. Waites, Jackie Earle Haley, Catherine Corcoran, Chris Noth, and Elias Koteas. 'The Block' is a co-production between Singer's Cascrator Films and Australia's Three777 Films. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
