The busiest man in the business, David Dastmalchian, is set to star in another upcoming horror-thriller Kill Screen, from Wolf Creek and Jungle director Greg McLean.
Per Deadline, who reported the news earlier today, the Late Night with the Devil star joins Resident Evil'‘s Ella Balinska in the pic, which was previously known as The Horror Game.
In Kill Screen, desperate to find her missing sister, a young woman (Balinska) and her three friends are drawn into a mysterious virtual reality horror game. Each level forces them to survive an entirely different horror subgenre—from slashers to supernatural, zombie horror to psychological. When they learn that dying in the game means dying in real life, the friends must outthink and outfight the game’s sadistic creator (Dastmalchian) before their luck runs out.
Per producer Tyler Condon, who produces under his production banner CinemaWays, alongside Matthew Shreder of Concourse Media:
“Kill Screen is built for a generation raised on horror and interactive storytelling […] It’s terrifying, smart, and wildly entertaining – a movie that celebrates the genre while reinventing it. Greg’s potent vision and Gus’s script deliver a cinematic world that fans will want to explore again and again.”
Shreder adds:
“Genre-savvy, high-concept horror is proving to be dynamic in the current marketplace […] Kill Screen taps directly into that demand with a concept that pays homage to every horror sub-genre ever imagined – while offering something completely new.”
