Tron: Ares and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales director Joachim Rønning is helming a mysterious new horror movie, System, Deadline reports.
While production is currently underway in London, casting and plot remain shrouded in secrecy at this time.
We do know that Rønning is directing from his own script, co-written with his brother Andreas Rønning. He’s also producing.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons, It) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious) are also producing. Image Nation Studios CEO Ben Ross (Watcher, Company) and Spooky Pictures’ Rami Yasin (Hokum) are executive producing.
Spooky Pictures is a label that’s popped up a lot in recent months, with projects including 4 x 4: The Event, Sundowning, Occupant, and V/H/S: SCP. The company previously teamed with Image Nation Studios on genre projects including Late Night with the Devil, Charlie Polinger’s The Plague, and Hokum starring Adam Scott.
Stay tuned for more as it arrives, including whether System will be a more scaled-back effort from Rønning, who tends to deliver big-budget franchise films filled with spectacle.
