The cast is shaping up for Paramount’s untitled horror movie from The Autopsy of Jane Doe director André Øvredal.
Deadline reports that Oscar winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Jacob Scipio (Bad Boys for Life), and Lou Llobell (“Foundation”) have boarded the project.
The screenplay is written by Zachary Donohue (The Den) and T.W. Burgess, but plot details are being kept under wraps.
Former Warner Bros production executive Walter Hamada, who steered the Conjuring and It franchises, is producing via his 18hz as part of his first-look deal with Paramount. It screenwriter Gary Dauberman is also producing via Coin Operated.
Øvredal earned intentional attention with his Norwegian found footage mockumentary Trollhunter before making his English-language debut with The Autopsy of Jane Doe. He has since helmed the likes of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and The Last Voyage of the Demeter.
Following the untitled Paramount project, Øvredal will direct a feature adaptation of the hit indie video game Bendy and the Ink Machine.
