Deadline reports that MGM has acquired rights to make a feature out of “Abe,” a short film by British writer/director/VFX artist Rob McLellan.
McLellan will write and direct the feature about a robot serial killer, and Kevin Misher and Steve Tzirlin will produce it.
We’ve actually embedded the insanely disturbing short below, which is brilliant in the idea that a serial killer has no soul – much like a robot…
Jonathan Glickman and Cassidy Lange will oversee for MGM and Andy Berman and Kevin Chang will oversee for Misher Films, which produced the Kimberly Peirce-directed Carrie for MGM and Screen Gems and is prepping a reboot of The Crow for Relativity.
