Deadline reports that Blumhouse Productions has acquired the Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker spec Free Fall, and will produce the micro-budget rock-climbing, survival thriller with Madhouse Entertainment.
“When a man joins his estranged daughter on a mountain climb in an attempt to repair their relationship, a tragic accident leaves them stranded hundreds of feet in the air. As a storm sets in, the two must fight against the elements and terrifying heights in order to survive.”
Also, the site learned that GSN has greenlit eight episodes of a new horror-themed game show, “Hellevator,” produced by Matador and Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Prods in association with Lionsgate TV.
“In ‘Hellevator,’ a team of three friends rides a haunted elevator into various levels of an abandoned warehouse. One player must get out on each floor and conquer a frightening challenge in order to earn money (up to $50,000) for the team. But if they don’t make it back in time, the elevator moves on without them.”
It’s slated to premiere later this year.
