Chris Pine to Star in Netflix Survival Thriller ‘Yeti’ from ‘Conjuring’ Director Michael Chaves

Michael Chaves, the filmmaker behind last summer’s New Line smash The Conjuring: Last Rites, is next directing Yeti, a new survival thriller for Netflix, reports Deadline.

Chris Pine (Carousel) will star in the film alongside Iona Bell (The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping), Ray Winstone (Damsel), and Sofia Boutella (Rebel Moon).

Yeti takes place deep in the Alps, where an avalanche has unleashed something primeval from the glacial ice. With no hope of rescue, a father (Pine) and his daughter (Bell) must fight to survive against a merciless predator that blends in with the snow.

Originally set up at Sony Pictures, the project made its way to Netflix last spring. Peter Gaffney and Sean Tretta penned the script. Erik Feig and Jessica Switch are producing for Picturestart, alongside Dan Kagan, with Hans Ritter and Pine exec producing.

Chaves is best known for his work inside The Conjuring Universe, on projects including The Curse of La Llorona, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun II, and The Conjuring: Last Rites, which broke ground last year as the highest-grossing film in the series, at nearly $500M worldwide.
