According to Spec Chaser (an interesting site listing the spec scripts that are selling around town), Peter Markle has sold IMMERSION for an undetermined sum. Brian Gilbert & Andrew Trapani of Nine/8 Entertainment are attached to produce. Markle will also helm the film, although no start date is yet known.
Markle is a veteran television director who has worked on shows like “X-Files”, “Without a Trace”, and “CSI”. He also directed the 1988 Gene Hackman action film BAT*21. Here’s what his IMMERSION is all about: A group of hardcore juvenile delinquents set to be tried as adults are granted a last chance at redemption. Venturing into the wilderness to participate in a brutal wilderness survival program, the teens encounter something far more horrifying than the mean streets they left behind.
