Screen Daily reports that The Works International is partnering with Mann Made Films on The Drought, an ecological action horror set in a terrifying post-apocalyptic world. The film will be directed by Lawrence Gough (pictured). Colin O’Donnell, Gough’s long-time collaborator, is writing the script.
The Drought is set in a near future where the world is plunged into a state of emergency with millions dying of thirst and national infrastructures collapsing. A desperate couple who have avoided the mass exoduses and eked out an existence in their suburban home head for London in a last-ditch attempt to find the water they badly need to save themselves and their ailing daughter.
Look for more soon!
