House of Wax, Orphan Director Finds ‘Unknown White Male’
Dark Castle Entertainment must love Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra as they’ve tapped him to once again get behind the camera for a Joel Silver produced horror thriller being released via Warner Bros. Pictures. The director of House of Wax and the forthcoming Orphan is now prepping for Unknown White Male, a very Twilight Zone-esque thriller that you can read more about inside.
Joel Silver’s Dark Castle is developing “Unknown White Male,” a thriller about a doctor who awakens from a coma to finds he seemingly has been replaced by another man, for Warner Bros. to market and distribute.
Jaume Collet-Serra, who is helming upcoming child-centric thriller “Orphan” for Silver and Warners, is attached to direct.
According to the logline, “Male” centers on a doctor who, when visiting Berlin with his wife, gets into a car accident that leaves him in a coma; he then awakens to find out that someone has taken his place, leading him on a frantic quest to discover the truth.
Karl Gadjusek, who penned the home-invasion drama “Taken” that’s in development at Overture, wrote a draft of the script.
The CAA-repped Collete-Serra also directed “House of Wax,” Warners’ 2005 horror pic that starred Elisha Cuthbert. In addition to “Taken,” the WMA-repped Gadjusek also counts the TV series “Dead Like Me” among his credits.

“Old-school American horror is back as Adam Green’s iconic Hatchet series returns in a blood-soaked, fully Unrated collection, uniting all four films for the first time.
“Unleashed at a time when the fun of 80s slashers had all but disappeared from the cinematic landscape, Hatchet ushered in a new era of terror with its unapologetic brutality and introduction of Victor Crowley, the modern bogeyman, who ruthlessly hunts those who dare tread into his swamp. With each installment, the stakes escalate, delivering bigger, bloodier scares and a relentless barrage of inventive kills. So gather all your pieces, because it’s time to return to his swamp and learn once and for all that some legends truly never die.”
Other films coming soon from Dark Sky Selects include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and Faces of Death. Stay tuned for updates.
