The English-language picture will start pre-production next month and shoot from late October.
Production is by Arclight Films International and Nest Holdings with Mike Gabrawy and Elliot Tong as executive producers.
The story involves the innocent discovery of a well preserved mummified emperor from 200 BC that unlocks a 2,000-year old nightmare and secrets that should have remained buried.
Synopsis:
When a scientist disappears in the Chinese desert, an international team of colleagues embarks on a search and rescue mission. Once in the wild, a flash fire forces the search party into an abandoned building where they find themselves besieged by an even more terrifying threat driven to the surface by the heat: swarms of flesh-eating Funnel webs.
