“Gotham” star Ben McKenzie and Beyond Skyline actress Bojana Novakovic are attached to star in the new J-horror film Bloat, reports Variety.
“Bloat stars McKenzie as a military officer stationed in Turkey while his wife (Novakovic) is vacationing in Japan with their kids. During the stay, their younger son almost drowns in a lake.
“Soon after the accident, the parents realize that something is wrong with their boy.”
“Bloat” is written and directed by Tokyo-based horror filmmaker Pablo Absento.
The film is being produced by Bazelevs, the production banner of Screenlife pioneer Timur Bekmambetov (Unfriended, Searching, Profile). Interestingly, Bloat is also a co-production Pulsar Content, which was behind the excellent The Deep House.
McKenzie and Absento are producing alongside Bekmambetov, Maria Zatulovskaya and Anna Shalashina from Bazelevs; Gilles Sousa and Marie Garrett from Pulsar Content; Hiroko Oda from flag Co., Ltd; and Dzhanik Fayziev from Okko. The Fantasia Film Festival’s artistic director Mitch Davis and Aleksandr Fomin are associate producers.
Filming has already started in New York and will continue in Japan.
