First Look at ‘Outside’ Enslaved by a Demon [EFM]
Deadline shares the first look photo at Golden Globe-nominated actress Romola Garai’s (The Hour) directorial debut Outside, starring Carla Juri (Blade Runner 2049), Alec Secareanu (God’s Own Country) and Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake).
“The film explores the story of Tomaz, a refugee escaping war in his own country. Haunted by his past, he is offered a place to stay in a decaying, claustrophobic house, inhabited by an enigmatic young woman and her dying mother. As he starts to fall for his new companion, Tomaz can’t ignore his suspicion that something insidious might also be living alongside them.”
The original synopsis revealed that “he begins to suspect she is enslaved to a demon and resolves to fight the creature and rescue the woman he loves…but all is not what it seems.”
Matthew James Wilkinson (upcoming Untitled Danny Boyle project) of Stigma Films, and Maggie Monteith (Brotherhood) of Dignity Film Finance are producing. Damian Jones (The Iron Lady) is executive producer alongside James Norrie, Bob Portal and Inderpal Singh for AMP.
The UK film is currently in post-production.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
