After the hugely successful Sundance premiere of Chloe Okuno’s Watcher, genre label Spooky Pictures next plans a Late Night With the Devil, reports Variety.
The supernatural chiller follows the live broadcast of a late-night talk show in 1977 that goes horribly wrong, unleashing evil into the nation’s living rooms.
Late Night With the Devil will be helmed by Australian writing/directing duo Colin and Cameron Cairns (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign) and is set to start shooting in Australia later this year.
“In the ’70s and ’80s, there was something slightly dangerous about late-night TV,” said the duo in a statement. “Talk shows, in particular, were a window into some strange adult world. We thought combining that charged, live-to-air atmosphere with the supernatural could make for a uniquely frightening film experience.”
Cinetic is handling the U.S./North American rights to the film.
Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Ring, The Grudge) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni and Adam White are all producing. Australian filmmaker Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo) and John Molloy will serve as executive producers.
