Embankment to sell international on Sophie Cookson horror Hush, says ScreenDaily.
The sales agent has commenced international sales on the Sigma Films and Thruline Entertainment horror supported by Creative Scotland.
Sophie Cookson, riding high on the success of global hit Kingsman: The Secret Service (pictured), “plays a young woman who runs a ghostbusting racket with her sibling. When the pair investigate a haunted foster home where a sadistic killer used to operate, they uncover a far more terrifying supernatural force.”
Iceland’s Olaf de Fleur will direct Hush and Sigma’s Brian Coffey and Thruline’s Danny Sherman produce. Coffey produced The Legend Of Barney Thomson and Citadel.
Ben Ketai, whose credits include The Forest and The Strangers 2, adapted the screenplay from a novella by EM Blomqvist. Eva Konstantopoulos made script revisions.
Principal photography is set to kick off in October in Scotland.
