Studiocanal’s Sixth Dimension Boards Creature Feature ‘Home Safety Hotline’ from ‘Love and Monsters’ Director
Studiocanal’s Sixth Dimension has come on board creature feature ‘Home Safety Hotline’, from the director of ‘Love and Monsters’!
Who are you gonna call when monsters attack? The Home Safety Hotline! Indie genre label Spooky Pictures, global studio Image Nation and LA and UAE based production company Longevity Pictures have secured a financing partnership with European heavyweight STUDIOCANAL, through its in-house genre label SIXTH DIMENSION, for the upcoming horror film.
Based on Night Signal Entertainment’s critically acclaimed puzzle video game of the same name, the film is set in the US and follows an unemployed loner who must take a job as a phone operator at a mysterious home security company, only to realize they specialize in protecting customers from horrific monsters that come out at night.
Michael Matthews (Love and Monsters) is directing from a script by Nick Tassoni (Lure).
Producers are Steven Schneider (The Long Walk, Strange Darling, Late Night with the Devil) for Spooky Pictures, alongside Majd Nassif (Mercy, Locked) for Longevity Pictures and Kameek Lucas Taitt (Empire City, Love and Monsters). Executive producers include Ben Ross (Watcher, Late Night with the Devil) of Image Nation, Jakob Pollack (Weapons) of Spooky Pictures, and Jed Benedict, Head of STUDIO CANAL’s SIXTH DIMENSION.
Said Majd Nassif, President of Longevity Pictures, “What we love about Home Safety Hotline is how it takes the most ordinary corners of a home: the walls, the basement, the thing in the attic, and turns them genuinely terrifying, then runs the whole nightmare through a struggling company and the unlikely people holding it together. It’s fun, it’s scary, and it’s unlike anything out there. Alongside our partners at Spooky Pictures and Image Nation, and with the support of STUDIOCANAL’s SIXTH DIMENSION we’ve found exactly the right team to bring it to life.”
Added head of STUDIOCANAL’s SIXTH DIMENSION Jed Benedict, “Just as every night I hope the eerie humming downstairs comes from my cheap refrigerator, every day I hope a project like Home Safety Hotline crosses our radar. From the moment our good friends at Spooky Pictures, Image Nation and Longevity Pictures first spoke of Night Signal Entertainment’s cult game (of the same name), we knew we wanted to be involved. And when we learned that Michael Matthews would be directing – an exceptional filmmaker and a proven monster-whisperer himself – with Nick Tassoni devising our handbook through hell, it became impossible to resist”
