French filmmaking duo Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, best known for their ultra-violent slasher Inside and aquatic haunted house tale The Deep House, are tackling an adaptation of the grisly thriller The Soul Eater by Alexis Laipsker.
Maury announced on Instagram that production has officially begun on The Soul Eater, the seventh feature film for Maury and Bustillo. Author Laipsker also took to Twitter to share that production is now underway, along with artwork that teases an ominous tone below.
The novel’s official synopsis indicates another bloody genre film for the filmmakers:
“‘He didn’t scream. They never scream.’ Some well-kept secrets sometimes turn out to be too heavy to bear. When the disappearance of children and bloody murders multiply uneventfully in a small mountain village, an old legend shrouded in sulfur resurfaces. Urged on by their respective departments, Commander Guardiano and Captain of the Gendarmerie De Rolan are forced to join forces to discover the truth.”
The directors reteam with Kandisha cinematographer Simon Roca for their latest.
Virginie Ledoyen (Rabid Dogs, The Beach), Paul Hamy (Get In), and Sandrine Bonnaire star.
The Soul Eater is produced by Phase 4 Productions and Place du Marché Productions and will receive a theatrical release in France.
Maury and Bustillo also directed Among the Living and Leatherface.
