Ever since Platinum Dunes misfired with its A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, they've been pretty damned quiet. Usually news would have come by now for a gritty sequel or remake of something or other. That being said, a new project is officially on the horizon.

According to Variety, Universal Pictures is set to produce Blumhouse Productions and Platinum Dunes' Vigilandia, the first feature that the studio will produce under its first-look deal with Blumhouse.

The film will star Ethan Hawke, and James DeMonaco will direct from a script he penned. Plot details are being kept under wraps.

Jason Blum, Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form will produce through Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes along with Why Not Prods. Sebastien Lemercier will exec produce.

Filming is set start on February 13th. Universal set up its first-look deal with Blumhouse back in June to produce low-budget genre films.

More soon!
