From Peter Block’s A Bigger Boat
Variety reports that FilmNation Entertainment and A Bigger Boat are combining to finance and produce House at the End of the Street, a psychological thriller based on a story written by Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3).
The film will be directed by Mark Tonderai (Hush) from a David Loucka script and is being described as a thriller in the vein of Psycho, aimed at a contemporary young audience. A Bigger Boat’s Peter Block will produce with FilmNation’s Aaron Ryder, Mostow and Hal Lieberman.
Ryder says, “We believe this will be to ‘Psycho’ what ‘Disturbia’ was to ‘Rear Window,’ but with the addition of a strong female lead.”
The intention is to start production later this year. That will likely make the film the first production for FilmNation since Basner formed the venture in 2008 as an international sales arm and brought Ryder in shortly after to start a production division. Block just wrapped the John Carpenter-directed thriller The Ward, as well as Adam Green’s Frozen which opens in theaters February 5th.
