While we wait for Orphan 3, which was officially announced last November, franchise star Isabelle Fuhrman has set up her next project. Fuhrman will star in the thriller Die by Night.
Variety details this afternoon that Ben Hardy (Bohemian Rhapsody, Unicorns) and Scoot McNairy (A Complete Unknown, Nightbitch) will also star in the dystopian movie.
The outlet also reports, “The feature is being launched by Protagonist Pictures ahead of the upcoming EFM in Berlin. Protagonist is handling international sales while UTA Independent Film Group is representing North American rights.”
Die by Night is set over the course of one night in a world where “the only way to survive to see a new day is to trust each other and stay in the light until you make it to The Wall.”
Creatures known as The Horde hunt down surviving humans in the dark in the film’s post-apocalyptic world, where long stretches of darkness plunge the world into chaos.
Runaway Lucia (Fuhrman) must find her way to The Wall where safety awaits, while an injured but determined Barry (Hardy) promises to get them there. But The Horde are not the only threat out there. The Clans — tribes of people whose survival and prosperity depends on selling and trading humans to gain strength in numbers — also stand in their way.
Rod Blackhurst, who wrote last year’s Night Swim, is writing and directing Die by Night.
“Die by Night promises to be a nail-biting, action-packed thriller with non-stop jump scares,” said producer Dave Bishop. “Rod’s vision of a dark, dystopian, post-apocalyptic new world, combined with the terrifying hordes of creatures conceived by the industry’s top designers, will reach out and grab the audience not letting go until the credits roll.”
The film’s creatures are being created by concept artist Vincent Proce, who has worked on films including , and.
