Dave Franco is joining Sophie Wilde in alien invasion thriller “Soon You Will Be Gone and Possibly Eaten”.
Egor Abramenko, the director of A24’s forthcoming horror movie “Altar” and the Russian sci-fi hit “Sputnik”, is set to helm the project that has a screenplay by Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins. This writer duo is best known for their work on Hulu’s “Hellraiser” reboot as well as the psychological thriller “The Night House”.
