Do. Not. Disturb. Suretone Pictures and Lionsgate today announced an agreement to co-finance Suretone’s adventure/horror film Creepers, based on the bestselling 2005 book of the same name by David Morrell, the acclaimed author globally renowned for First Blood and other books which were adapted into the films that make up the Rambo franchise.
Creepers is set to shoot this summer in Bulgaria and will be directed by Marc Klasfeld, the legendary music video and commercial director who is making his feature film debut.
Creepers is the story of a group of young urban explorers who plan to investigate an old, boarded up, seemingly abandoned hotel, only to encounter danger at every turn in the form of a competing group of hostile urban explorers seeking to find a legendary hidden treasure as well as a supernatural being who wreaks havoc on all.
Jordan Schur, Chairman and CEO of Suretone Pictures, said: “I am pleased to partner on this special film with Lionsgate. After a decade in development, we have arrived at our destination with a powerful script adapted from a timeless book and a gifted director leading the charge. We could not ask for a better partner in Lionsgate who share our passion and excitement to bring the world this amazing roller-coaster of a story.”
Lionsgate’s Executive VP of Acquisitions Eda Kowan, said: “We are excited to work with Jordan and the team at Suretone along with Marc Klasfeld to bring this supernatural adventure thriller to audiences everywhere.”
Marc Klasfeld said: “I have waited decades to find the right feature film project to which I could truly dedicate myself. The passion I have found to make Creepers all it can be is extraordinary, and I honestly can’t wait for the world to see what we have in store.”
