We reported earlier about Warner Brothers getting into the low budget/high profit horror arena with Primal Pictures, and now we have some pretty nifty casting news for a little flick called Hidden!

According to Variety, “True Blood” star Alexander Skarsgard is set to topline Warner Bros.’ Hidden, which twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer will direct from their own spec script.

The project is an elevated horror-thriller (hate that buzz term) about a family hiding in a bomb shelter after escaping a mysterious outbreak.

Roy Lee, Mason Novick, Lawrence Grey and Richard Zanuck will produce, while John Middleton and Sebastian Aloi will exec produce. Jon Berg will oversee the project for Warner Bros.

WB acquired the Duffers’ spec late last year in a competitive situation. The deal contained progress-to-production language, indicating that the studio was anxious to start filming rather than allow the project to languish in development.
