Last year, it was announced that legendary horror manga artist Junji Ito would be teaming with Fangoria Studios to develop live-action film adaptations of three of his stories.

The stories, pulled from Ito's collection Smashed: Junji Ito Story Collection, are Bloodsucking Darkness - which revolves around a girl with an eating disorder who vomits blood - and The Mystery Of The Haunted House Parts 1 and 2, where two friends enter a haunted house.

The three films were set to start shooting this summer, and though it's not yet clear how far along production is, the trilogy is set to release over 2025 and 2026. If shooting hasn't actually started, then 2026 seems like a far more probable start.
