Bold Films has picked up Psy-Ops, an action thriller from Scott Stewart and Gus Krieger, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Stewart (upcoming Legion and Priest) came up with the initial story, then developed it with Krieger, who will write the script.
Stuart Maschwitz, who co-founded visual-effects company the Orphanage with Stewart, is attached to make his directorial debut.
Psy-Ops revolves around a covert U.S. military unit of psychological operatives who specialize in exploiting their target’s deepest fears. When on a routine mission to the Amazon Basin, they discover something more terrifying than they could have imagined.
Stewart is producing with Bold’s David Lancaster and Michel Litvak. Gary Michael Walters is executive producing.
