Daniel Stamm’s follow-up to THE LAST EXORCISM just received a big boost: Dimension Films has acquired the rights to ANGRY LITTLE GOD, a psychological thriller being produced by IM Global and Blumhouse Productions (LORDS OF SALEM, SINISTER).
Flick is a remake of the 2006 Thai horror flick 13: GAME OF DEATH (pictured), which Dimension released domestically in 2008 via their “Extreme” label.
Here’s the synopsis: Elliot Brindle is a bright, meek social services coordinator, drowning in debt – and desperate as he’s about to marry the love of his life. Upon receiving a phone call informing him that he’s on a hidden camera game show where he must execute 13 tasks to receive a sum total cash prize of $6.2M, Elliot dismissively follows through with his first two instructions: swat the fly that is currently bothering him, then eat the fly. With thousands of dollars suddenly appearing in his bank account, Elliot remains skeptical, though comforted by the knowledge that he can stop playing at anytime if only to lose every penny that he’s won. Trapped into the horrors manipulated by unseen spectators, Elliot’s need to complete the game escalates as the tasks grow more extreme, to a devastating point of no return.
Somsak Techaratanaprasert, a producer on the original film, as well as the ONG BAK series, will produce along with Jason Blum, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Kiki Miyake.
