Cineverse has acquired the North American distribution rights to the sci-fi horror feature Dragn from Myriad Pictures.
Directed by Peter Webber (Hannibal Rising, Girl with a Pearl Earring), the film is expected to stream on Screambox later this year.
It centers on a group of co-workers on a routine corporate team-building trip, which transforms into a nightmare when they unwittingly become the prey of a rogue AI-driven drone.
Written by Barry Hutchison and Alexander Gordon Smith, the movie delves into the fragility of the human mind, the dangers of AI warfare, and the indomitable spirit required to confront terror in an increasingly digital world.
James Paxton (Twisters), Lilly Krug (Plane), Carlos Bardem (Assassin’s Creed), Alice Pagani (“Baby”), Jadran Malkovich (“The Ark”), Franz Drameh (Attack the Block), and Alex Lane star.
Lane, Oleg Shardin, and Georgia Witkin produce. Executive Producers include Kirk D’Amico, Sandy Climan, Michael Tadross, Barry Hutchison, Alexander Gordon Smith, Joachim Laqueur, Igor Shardin, Vasiliy Lantsov, Carolin Springborn, and Aleksandr Alpern.
“This film blends modern technological anxiety with classic survival suspense,” Fisher said in a statement. “Dragn follows a group of innocent employees whose weekend in the woods at a mundane corporate retreat suddenly spirals into a relentless, high-stakes nightmare – well timed with modern day.”
