Dimension Films Develops Horrific ‘Polaroid’
Dimension is optioning the rights to the short horror film Polaroid, which was written and directed by Lars Klevberg, Deadline reports.
In “Polaroid,” shared below, “Sarah (Annika Witt) and Linda (Thea Sofie Loch Næss) discover an old Polaroid camera in the clearing of Sarah’s house. In their own selfishness they exploit the camera, only to discover what horrible past it hides.”
It has been getting strong buzz since recently winning the LA Horror short film festival.
Klevberg is also attached to direct the feature version which will go out to writers to adapt.
Chris Bender, Jake Weiner and Jake Wagner will produce at Benderspink, Roy Lee at Vertigo and Petter Løkke & John Hagen at El Dorado Films who produced the short with Lars Klevberg in Norway.
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.”
