Djimon Hounsou To Star in Horror Thriller THE MONSTER From Director Darren Lynn Bousman
Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place: Day One, Rebel Moon) is set to star in a horror-thriller film project titled The Monster, which will be directed by the Saw franchise’s Darren Lynn Bousman.
The Monster follows “two millennials who make quick money by leasing incredible New York City apartments they don’t own to people who don’t know they are being scammed.
“The con works brilliantly until they run into an apartment owner with a dark secret who flips the game on them.”
Saw franchise producer Mark Burg said in a statement: “Darren sent me a script with incredible twists and turns and the opportunity to work with him and the brilliant Djimon Hounsou. This movie will be amazing and scare the hell out of audiences worldwide.”
Producers Lee Nelson and David Tish added: “We love finding new ways into horror and when we read The Monster we knew it was special. With Djimon and the minds behind one of horror’s biggest franchises, genre fans are in for something fresh and scary.”
The script was written by Jonathan Bernstein and James Greer (Unsane). The film is set to start shooting in Danbury, CT, in November.
