News Headless Here’s That Headless Horseman Mythos Movie You Asked For Take the head and run! By Molly Templeton | Published on May 13, 2025 Comment 0 Share New Share No, it’s got nothing to do with Sleepy Hollow. The Spierig Brothers, the directors of Jigsaw and Winchester (pictured above), are now turning their heads to Headless, which Deadline describes as “a contemporary re-imagining of the Headless Horseman mythology.” Deadline goes on to say: With nods to Mad Max and The Terminator, the synopsis reads: A rudderless hitchhiker and a driven woman avenging her family’s death must stop a motorcycle-riding semi-immortal ghoul that feeds off the carnage it causes on desert highways by decapitating it and getting its head far enough away, long enough, from its relentlessly pursuant still-living body. I appreciate that this synopsis uses the confusing term “semi-immortal” and then goes on to explain exactly how one stops this being from continuing to be immortal. Straightforward, that. The Spierig Brothers, Peter and Michael, most recently directed Winchester. Their 2014 film Predestination was an adaptation of the Robert A. Heinlein story “‘—All You Zombies—'” and starred Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, and Noah Taylor. Their next film is The Fall 2, the sequel to the 2002 survival horror movie directed by Scott Mann. Headless comes from writers Shane Armstrong and S.P. Krause, the co-writers of Australian horror film The Contents. Headless will film in Australia later this year.[end-mark] The post Here’s That Headless Horseman Mythos Movie You Asked For appeared first on Reactor.
