Netflix is Developing a Deal for Dimension Films’ ‘Polaroid’
After falling prey to The Weinstein Company’s collapse under the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, Lars Klevberg’s horror title Polaroid, formerly a Dimension Films release, is headed to Netflix in an all rights acquisition deal, says Deadline.
While we’re hoping to see it get released this fall, the site stresses that the paperwork isn’t completely signed yet as it will take some time to work through with Netflix taking the title from TWC’s new owner Lantern Entertainment.
Polaroid follows high school loner Bird Fitcher, who has no idea what dark secrets are tied to the mysterious vintage Polaroid camera she stumbles upon. But it doesn’t take long to discover that those who have their picture taken meet a tragic end.
The pic was written by Blair Butler (Hell Fest) and stars Kathryn Prescott, Tyler Young, Grace Zabriskie and Mitch Pileggi.
Roy Lee produces through his Vertigo Entertainment label with Chris Bender also producing.
Originally, TWC dated this film for a Thanksgiving launch last year on Oct. 4, the day before the New York Times expose ran on Harvey Weinstein. Theatrical marketing materials were literally made for Polaroid with posters showing up in theater lobbies. By Oct. 31, TWC had pulled the film off the schedule indefinitely.
