Xavier Gens (Frontier(s), Hitman) has a new project at Cannes entitled Lights Out, a home invasion thriller that introduces a strong female protagonist who happens to be blind.
Lamont Magee and Jeff W. Byrd penned the script, and the film will be financed by Arclight’s Asian arm, Easternlight Films, and China’s Huace Pictures.
Gens is also working on The Crucifixion, which is being written by The Conjuring writers Chad and Carey Hayes.
Synopsis:
Lights Out is about a young blind girl, living alone with her seeing-eye dog, who is forced to battle Russian gangsters who invade the secluded family mansion following her father’s suspicious death. Her only hope of survival is to cut the power in the house and use the fighting skills her father taught her.
