According to Variety, Stuart Ford’s sales and distribution company IM Global has announced a slate of nine pics it will shop to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival. Among the titles is a project called SPECTRE, which James Wan is attached to helm. Furthermore, Nicole Kidman is in line to produce and star in the supernatural thriller, which is budgeted at under $10 million.
Plot details are, unfortunately, scant – although that might change when Cannes heats up. All that’s known right now is that Rick Schwartz’s Overnight Prods. and Kidman’s Blossom Films are co-producing, while IM Global will rep the flick. (They’re handling films such as Rob Zombie’s LORDS OF SALEM and Barry Levinson’s THE BAY as well.)
Wan is of course coming off the mega-hit INSIDIOUS, while Kidman has toiled in the ghostly genre before with THE OTHERS; the combination of the two is, in theory, very juicy. Let’s see if this actually gets off the ground. (Although I’d assume anything Wan wants to do right now, short of the ridiculous, is going to get made.)
