Coogler, renowned for his directorial prowess in films like “Black Panther,” has penned the script and will also produce the project under his banner, Proximity Media. Joining him in production are Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian.
Warner Bros. emerged victorious in a heated bidding war for the rights to the film, securing a unique deal that grants certain rights back to the filmmaker over the years. With a slated release date of March 7, 2025, and plans for Imax screenings, anticipation is building for what promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the horror genre.
Production is scheduled to commence later this spring in New Orleans. Stay tuned for more information as the project evolves.
