A Mysterious Event Changes the World in ‘Out There,’ Being Directed by David Bruckner
David Bruckner‘s (The Signal, V/H/S, Southbound, The Ritual) plate is pretty full at the moment, as he’s next directing the supernatural thriller The Night House along with an episode of Shudder’s “Creepshow,” and it gets even fuller this week with the announcement (via Deadline) that he has also signed on to direct a sci-fi thriller titled Out There.
The high-concept sci-fi spec from Ian Levy was acquired by Entertainment One.
The film is, according to Deadline, “said to be akin to The Mist and deals with a mysterious event that changes the course of the world. One family struggles to survive.”
The Picture Company Partners Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman will produce.

‘Home Bodies’ Image & Poster Introduce Isolated Twins in Sci-Fi Nightmare [Fantasia 2026]
Sci-fi thriller Home Bodies is set to unsettle audiences at the 30th edition of Fantasia, and our exclusive image introduces a peculiar pair of twins at the center.
Home Bodies makes its World Premiere tonight, July 23, at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance.
An eerie new poster created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative heralds the film’s premiere.
In the film, “Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.”
It’s a premise that calls another Canadian creeper to mind and has us intrigued: Pin.
Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser star.
Home Bodies is directed and produced by Casey Walker, who returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A Little Bit Zombie screened at the festival in 2012. He’s since gone on to produce a number of defining Canadian genre films like In a Violent Nature, The Void, and Pyewacket.
“I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,” said Walker. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share Home Bodies on such a special anniversary of the festival.“
Karen Harnisch (Infinity Pool, Sleeping Giant) also produces. Executive producers are Todd Brown (The Raid, Mandy) and Chad Archibald (undertone).
