Fox Filmed Entertainment will launch its new young-adult genre division, Fox Atomic, with its first acquisition, John Stockwell's horror feature Turistas, produced by 2929 Prods (Black Christmas remake), according to the Hollywood Reporter. Josh Duhamel, Melissa George (Amityville Horror) and Olivia Wilde star in the tale of college-age backpackers who embark on a dream vacation along the Brazilian coast. After an accident leaves them stranded, they discover a beachside bar filled with revelers, only to end up drugged by the locals and two of them kidnapped.
