Newly minted UK production outfit Catalyst, run by former Matador producer Charlotte Walls (“The Numbers Station”), is teaming with “Ripper Street” producers Tiger Aspect and Sadie Frost’s Blonde to Black Pictures (“Set the Thames on Fire”) on horror Eaten, says ScreenDaily.
BAFTA-nominated director Caradog James (The Machine) will direct the film from Rob Green’s (“Ripper Street”) script “about a notorious celebrity chef who belongs to an exclusive and upscale New York cannibal ring.”
“Imagine a top celebrity chef with the gourmet talents and bravado of Gordon Ramsay and the tastes of Hannibal Lecter,” said Green.
Eaten, which is aiming to shoot in the next 12 months, will be produced by Walls and Mat Wakeham for Catalyst; Frost and Emma Comley for Blonde to Black Pictures; and executive produced by Tigest Aspect head of drama Will Gould for the Endemol-owned company’s feature label Tiger Aspect Pictures, and Matthew Read.
