'Jigsaw', 'Winchester' & 'Daybreakers' Filmmaking Duo The Spierig Brothers Line Up Genre Movie 'Headless'

Michael Spierig (L) and Peter Spierig.Getty EXCLUSIVE: Noted genre filmmaking duo The Spierig Brothers, known for movies including Daybreakers, Jigsaw, Winchester and the upcoming Fall 2, are set to direct Headless, a contemporary re-imagining of the Headless Horseman mythology. 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.” The brothers’ last film, 2018 horror Winchester with Helen Mirren, made $44M global off a sub five million dollar budget.
