Supernatural Thriller Heads to the ‘Beyond’
Indo-American spiritual guru Deepak Chopra and Liquid Comics have announced that they will team for a film adaptation of graphic novel Beyond (read the first issue here), a supernatural thriller about a businessman whose wife disappears while on a family holiday to India. His search for her is guided only by the sound of her cries for help from the ether. British director Suri Krishnamma (“Being Othello”) will direct from a screenplay by Chopra, who also created the comic. “‘Beyond’ is a story about reality being multi-dimensional and how we can take journeys to realms we never dreamed of by separating the veils that partition our minds,” said Chopra.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
