Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Veloce X) will direct and produce the sci-fi horror film 11817. The screenplay is written by Matthew Robinson (The invention of lies).
In the story, “unexplained forces trap a family of four in their home indefinitely. As modern luxuries and life-or-death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn to be resourceful to survive and outsmart who – or what – keeps them trapped…”
Well, that sounds like a crazy, nightmarish situation! Leterrier said: “Directing projects where the audience gets behind the characters has always been my goal. However complex, imperfect, heroic, we identify with them as we experience their journey.”
He added: “It’s what excites me about the totally original concept of 11817 and the family at the center of our story. This is an experience cinema audiences will not forget.”
The project is currently in the midst of casting, but no one has been officially cast as the lead. Seems like an interesting story concept, though. Judging from what we know, it looks like the film will have some Twilight Zone tonal qualities.
It will be interesting to see what this film ends up becoming.
