André Ovredal Horror Movie Gets Title, Release Date from Paramount
'Passenger' will open May 29.
The next horror movie from André Ovredal is coming into focus.
Paramount has revealed the film is called Passenger, and has set a plum summer theatrical date of May 29 for the project, which stars Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell and Melissa Leo. Plot details are being kept in luggage.
Walter Hamada is producing via 18Hz, alongside Gary Dauberman and his Coin Operated banner.
Ovredal last helmed The Last Voyage of the Demeter, his own take on the Dracula mythos, and is known for projects such as the Guillermo del Toro-produced Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
Passenger currently has the May 29 date to itself, but is flanked by Disney and Lucasfilm’s Mandalorian & Grogu (May 22) and Masters of the Universe (June 5).
Paramount and producer Hamada are preparing to unleash Primate, a Jan. 9 horror feature about things going very wrong with a pet chimp.
