47 METERS DOWN Director Johannes Roberts to Helm the Horror Film THE NOT POLLY
47 Meters Down filmmaker Johannes Roberts is set to direct a new horror film project titled The Not Polly. Little Fires Everywhere and Destroyer actress Jade Pettyjohn is set to star in the movie, and it sounds like it’s going to tell a wild story!
Pettyjohn takes on the role of Polly, “the most popular and most beautiful girl in school, who wakes up after a party to find that she is trapped in a morgue, apparently dead, with no reflection, no pulse and no heartbeat. To make matters worse, she has been possessed.”
This is a fun and nightmarish concept, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this story ends up playing out.
Roberts said in a statement: “I’m so excited to be working with Bankside and the whole team on this project as they truly get my twisted vision! I can’t wait for an audience to experience this darkly comic yet terrifying film.”
Akimoto added: “It all started from an idea. What if one of the bodies at the morgue woke up and started searching for the truth. I wanted to make this concept into a horror movie. I am already very excited knowing Johannes Roberts of 47 Meters Down will be directing my original story.”
Stephen Kelliher of Bankside Films said: “The Not Polly is a completely original and hugely entertaining take on a horror story which audiences are going to have lot of fun with. Johannes who has proven time and again that he knows how to connect with broad audiences at the international box office and The Not Polly is set to be his next big hit.”
Production on the film is scheduled to start at the end of this year in Kentucky.
