Dimension Films sent over a little press release today to announce that they’ve acquired the rights to develop THE BOATHOUSE, a supernatural thriller pitch being written by David Loucka.
Set to be directed by Iain ‘I did THE SKELETON KEY‘ Softley and produced by Softley and Sarah Curtis (MRS. BROWN) through Forthcoming Productions, alongside Ehren Kruger (writer for THE RING, THE SKELETON KEY and SCREAM 3) and Daniel Bobker (THE SKELETON KEY?! I’m sensing a pattern here…).
The story for the film involves a man who falls into a torrid affair with a mysterious young woman, slowly discovers that several of the woman’s past lovers were murdered under suspicious circumstances, and that the sexy female might carry with her a dark disturbing curse. Personally, whenever I think of boathouses, I think of that scene in THE GODFATHER PART II with Fredo and Michael. Now that was some intense shite.
“THE BOATHOUSE is a standout horror story,” says Kruger. “[It’s] a scary film that explores sexual seduction in a way that the genre rarely braves to. The project brims with the kind of rich characters and mystical romantic appeal which distinguish Iain Softley’s work. We’re all excited to be making yet another Dimension film which redefines where today’s scary movies are headed.” Here’s hoping.
