CBS Films has tapped Jennifer Chambers Lynch (Chained, Boxing Helena, Surveillance, Hisss) to direct its horror movie Hellfest with Gale Anne Hurd producing, Variety reports.
“The film is set at a horror theme park during Halloween where a night of fun turns deadly as a costumed killer begins slaying unsuspecting patrons who believe that it’s all part of the festivities.”
Production will begin this winter at an undisclosed theme park. Alex Ginno and Mark Ross are overseeing the project for CBS Films, and Phillip Kobylanski is shepherding the project for CBS Films.
Lynch, the daughter of David Lynch, has directed episodes of “The Walking Dead,” “Quantico,” “Teen Wolf,” “The Last Ship,” and “Wayward Pines.”
Hurd is best known as the executive producer of “The Walking Dead.” Her feature credits include the first three Terminator movies, Aliens, The Incredible Hulk, and Armageddon.
