‘Infinite’ Will Explore the Afterlife In Deep Space
In a competitive situation, Sony is picking up the supernatural spec titled Infinite by rising filmmaker Jacob Chase, reports THR.
Sounding like a new take on Event Horizon:
The story centers on a group of scientist-adventurers that have traveled to outer space, to the deepest of oceans, and now set their sights on their most dangerous expedition: to explore the afterlife.
Neal H. Moritz, the producer behind the Fast and Furious franchise, will produce via his Original Films banner.
Chase is a former child actor who is now in full filmmaker mode. Two years ago he won $1 million for directing Doritos’ Super Bowl commercial “Doritos Dogs,” which he made in one day for $1,000.
Chase is throwing Hollywood a one-two punch, as the Infinite spec sale comes just two weeks after he set up his short horror film Larry to be adapted into a feature at Amblin, with The Picture Company producing. Chase is writing and directing Larry but is not attached to direct Infinite, which is intended to be a tentpole.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
