Bankside Films has inked a development overhead deal with production company Causeway Films, which has credits including Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook and The Nightingale, writes Deadline.
The package includes the horror Talk to Me, the first feature film from directing brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, the award-winning creators behind the YouTube channel RackaRacka which has over six million subscribers.
“Talk to Me is a horror that follows lonely teenager Mia who becomes hooked on the thrills of conjuring spirits through a disembodied hand.
“But when Mia is confronted by a soul claiming to be her dead mother, she becomes increasingly plagued by supernatural visions and must decide whether to trust the living or the dead.”
Danny Philippou is co-writing with RackaRacka collaborator Michael H Beck and the team is joined by producers Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton from Causeway Films, added if, who had the aforementioned first details on the project that is financed with support from the South Australian Film Corporation.
