When we ran that story a week ago, there still wasn’t a director attached to the project. But all that changed with an announcement late yesterday. Now, we can announce that 47 Meters Down/The Strangers: Prey at Night director Johannes Roberts has been retained to helm the production. According to Variety:
“The revival of the franchise has been a high priority for Constantin ever since May 2017, when the reboot was announced. The franchise has cumulatively earned $1.2 billion worldwide to date and is notable for being the highest-grossing film series based on a video game.”
