Luther Creator Heads Inside for Fox
The supernatural sub-genre keeps plugging along as audiences continue to consume ghosts and other denizens of spookery like there’s no tomorrow. Next up? Deadline is reporting that Fox has beaten out several bidders to acquire Inside, a large scale supernatural thriller film to be written by Neil Cross, best known as the creator of the celebrated BBC series “Luther.”
The film will be produced by The Picture Company’s Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman, expanding Fox’s relationship with Cross, Rona, and Heineman, who are in the middle of the Escape from New York remake with Robert Rodriguez on board to direct. Mike Ireland is the Fox exec on that project and will serve in the same role on the new project.
They are keeping the plot under wraps, but sources said it’s a contemporary piece that involves a CDC-like secure facility that houses dangerous artifacts that include mythological creatures. The protagonist is a wronged man who finds himself behind bars along with the menagerie of creatures.
More as it comes.
