Via his production company 18hz Productions, Walter Hamada is slated to produce several mid-budget horror films for Paramount Pictures per year, with director Johannes Roberts on board to direct a horror movie titled Primate for the company. Additionally, Deadline reports that Paramount has picked up a spec script titled Familiar for 18hz to produce as well.
Julien Magnat (Faces in the Crowd) is the writer of the horror/thriller spec script, which “surrounds a single mother who inadvertently invites an evil entity into her home.”
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
Hamada, who recently left WB/DC, has a ton of horror cred from his time at New Line, producing countless horror movies including the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street remakes as well as The Conjuring and its various spinoffs and the 2017 adaptation of IT.
