Marcus Nispel to direct paranormal film BACKMASK

Movie Conan The Barbarian by

Marcus Nispel (Conan The Barbarian) has lined up his next directing gig with a project entitled Backmask. The script is being written by Kristen Elms from an idea created by Nispel. The story is being kept under wraps, but reportedly involves paranoia, possession and the paranormal. Steven Schneider,is producing the film. He is one of the creators of Paranormal ActivityInsidious and the upcoming Barry Levinson-directed The Bay. Backmask is scheduled to begin shooting this summer for $10 million. Nispel has also directed films like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th. The project is being brokered this week at Cannes.

I am not a huge fan of Nispel's past work, but Conan does look somewhat decent. After seeing the trailer of the big screen it does not look as good as on my small screen, in my opinion. I am interested in learning more about this story when it becomes available.
