Jeremy Lovering May Direct The Bringing, Inspired by the Elisa Lam Story
The Bringing has had a lot of talent almost involved, and for anyone acquainted with the story, it’s not hard to understand why. It’s absolutely terrifying. Today brings word that Jeremy Lovering (In Fear) could direct the horror story for Sony Pictures.
Deadline reports that Lovering is in negotiations to direct The Bringing from a script written by Brandon and Phillip Murphy.
The film is inspired by the Elisa Lam story, a young woman who was found dead in a water tank on the roof of the Hotel Cecil. The script has nothing really to do with that tragedy, but it created a germ of an idea focusing on a man investigating a death at the hotel and the nightmare he stumbles into.
As previously reported, Nic Refn was once slated to direct:
Well this is a bummer, hearing Nic Refn will not direct THE BRINGING at Sony as negotiations have stalled. Too bad

Lam, who was only 21, was last seen at the Cecil Hotel on January 71st, 2017, according to L.A. police. Her parents had reported her missing, and her body was discovered, nude and floating in the water tower of the hotel (a drinking source for residents), where she apparently was for two weeks.
Lam’s final moments were caught on the elevator security camera of the hotel. The footage you see below was taken moments before her death. In it you’ll see Lam acting very strangely. She appears to be running from or hiding from someone… or something. Most perplexing about the video is that the door stays open the entire time, nearly four minutes.
A maintenance worker discovered the body while looking into complaints about the water pressure in the building. Guests had been drinking and bathing with water contaminated by a body that had been decomposing for nearly two weeks. So how did she get there? The water tower on top of the building was 15 feet high and locked. To gain access to said tower, Lam would have had to have passed silently through two locked and alarmed doors first. Apparently she did so. All doors were still locked. No alarms were ever tripped. There are 100’s of stories about this on the internet reported by every reputable news agency that there is. Some people say she was possessed or attacked by a ghost. If this is the case, then this is the only known footage of such an occurrence.
In the end her death was ruled as “accidental.” Mind you, her clothes were never found. Nothing about this story makes any sense.
