Legendary director Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Hole, Inner Space, The Howling) will helm Labirintus – a supernatural thriller set in the dark twisting catacombs beneath Buda Castle in Hungary (pictured), Bloody Disgusting learned.
“Labirintus tells the story of a paranormal investigator and psychiatric researcher who join forces to explore an abandoned subterranean Soviet research facility, hidden within the Budapest Labyrinth. When supernatural forces confound and torment the group they begin to question their own sanity. To escape they must quash their fears and lead their team to find and destroy the dark heart of the maze.”
Goldcrest will be financing and co-producing together with overseeing global sales and distribution.
Production is anticipated to begin early next spring.
Labirintus is produced by Fabrice Lambot of France’s Metaluna Productions, Lucy Mukerjee-Brown of Mukerjee-Brown Productions, Elizabeth Stanley of Elizabeth Stanley Pictures and Jean-Charles Levy of Forecast Pictures. Nick Quested and Pascal Degove will serve as Executive Producers for Goldcrest.
