Fresh off the success of his Netflix thriller Carry-On, Jaume Collet-Serra (House of Wax, Orphan, The Shallows) has set up his next project, a survival thriller titled Play Dead.
Deadline reports that while the plot synopsis is under wraps at this time, Jaume Collet-Serra’s Play Dead is being described by sources as “Don’t Breathe meets 1917.”
Don’t Breathe is of course the intense home invasion horror movie directed by Fede Alvarez, while 1917 is the Sam Mendes-directed British war movie from back in 2019.
The implication here is that Play Dead is some kind of home invasion movie with a wartime setting, but that’s purely speculation based on what little we’re being told here.
Stay tuned for more on Play Dead as we learn it.
Peter Stanley-Ward & Natalie Conway wrote the screenplay. Nocturnal is producing alongside BoulderLight Pictures, Bad Grey, and Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures.
Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert will produce through Ghost House Pictures. Sony’s aforementioned Don’t Breathe (2016) was similarly produced by the duo for Ghost House.
