Joe Wright, director of films such as Atonement, Hanna, and Pan, has yet to lend his talents to the horror genre, though that may change thanks to a new project he’s developing with Fox Searchlight. It’s titled The Ruins, and no, it has nothing to do with the same-named film from 2008. Read on!
Per Deadline, Wright’s banner, Shoebox Films, and Fox Searchlight are working together on the India-set supernatural thriller, and at least for now, the plan is that Wright may potentially direct. The script is being penned by Jon Croker (The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death).
Shoebox principals Wright, Paul Webster, and Guy Heeley are overseeing the project.
Expect more as we learn it.
