What’s next from Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) after last year’s claustrophobic thriller, Netflix’s Oxygen? Deadline reports that Aja is on board to direct the new thriller Mother Land.
Oscar-winner Halle Berry is set to star in the psychological thriller for Arrival and Stranger Things outfit 21 Laps. Lionsgate is handling international sales at the Cannes Film Market.
Mother Land “will chart the story of a mother and her twin sons who have been tormented by an evil spirit for years. When one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the family’s sacred bond is broken and it becomes a fight for survival. “
With Aja at the helm, we can expect the fight to get very intense.
Lionsgate’s Production President Erin Westerman told Deadline: “We’re so thrilled to be working again with Halle and Alex. Halle is a force on screen – she’s the perfect person to convey the psychological terror of this mother trying to protect her family. And who better than Alex to ratchet up the tension. Powerhouse producers 21 Laps are going to deliver an elevated thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seat.”
Berry recently starred for Lionsgate in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and the upcoming Netflix movie The Mothership.
Aja produces alongside Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, and Dan Levine. Halle Berry and Holly Jeter will executive produce, and Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby wrote the script.
The film is expected to go into production next year.
