Up next from director Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85, Silent Night, Deadly Night) is a survival horror movie about a giant snake, which was originally titled Titan. But a new report from Deadline this week reveals the movie’s new title: Boiúna: Legend of the Amazon.
Kiana Madeira (Fear Street) and Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) will star in the upcoming creature feature, which will be released in the United States later this year by Lionsgate.
Logan Marshall-Green (The Invitation, Upgrade) will also star.
“Boiúna: Legend of the Amazon is set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Curuçá River in the present day. When a team of young doctors embark on a local humanitarian mission through the Amazon rainforest, it soon becomes clear that not everyone – or everything – is happy to see them. Their arrival draws the attention of an ancient predator, the Boiúna.”
“This ancient killer, dominant on land and water, clashes to reclaim the jungle. The ensuing fight for survival blurs the roles of hunter, prey, and hero.”
Tony Giglio wrote the script with Alan B. McElroy (Wrong Turn).
Constantin Film (Resident Evil) and JB Pictures are the two production companies behind Boiúna. Robert Kulzer of Constantin Film and Jeremy Bolt of JB Pictures are producing.
