‘Saw’-like Games Torture Berenice Marlohe In ‘Meander’
Berenice Marlohe (Skyfall) will star in Meander, an upcoming sci-fi horror film to be directed by France’s Mathieu Turi (Hostile), Variety reports out of Cannes.
Sounding like a cross between SAW and Cube, the English-language film sees:
“A woman wake up in a strange tube full of deadly traps. Her only option is to keep moving forward. But it is not clear how far she can get.”
Meander is being produced by Thomas Lubeau, Eric Gendarme and Olivier Chateau at Full Time Films, with production to begin at the end of the year.
Turi’s post-apocalyptic, thriller debut Hostile was selected for more than 30 festivals including Sitges, Frightfest and Neuchatel, collecting more than 15 prizes.
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.”
