Even though they’ve collectively shelved a new Friday the 13th and World War Z sequel, Paramount hasn’t stopped looking for new horrors to send shivers up and down our spines.
Deadline reports that Paramount Pictures has acquired the thriller pitch Gasp for Jennifer Gibgot and Adam Shankman’s Offspring Entertainment.
The script will be written by Mario Celaya, and “American Horror Story’s” Jessica Sharzer will supervise the scribe and co-produce, with Gibgot and Shankman producing. The thriller premise is topical, even though the model is Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct.
Gasp is inspired by a number of true stories of women who are getting killed by men they are meeting on dating apps. A female detective has to go undercover online to catch a killer who is murdering women he meets on a specific popular dating app. She starts to fall for one of the suspects who has been cleared, only to discover that he may in fact be the killer.
Stay tuned for more as it comes.
