Get ready for a chilling cinematic experience as renowned Swedish director David F. Sandberg takes on a new horror project! In a thrilling development, Sandberg is set to direct 'A Little Slice of Hell', a horror film adaptation of John Goodrich's short story, which is currently in the works at Paramount Pictures.
But here's the twist: the plot revolves around two underpaid supermarket workers who, after a terrifying encounter with a customer from the underworld, discover the importance of reading the fine print in their employee handbook. This unique premise is sure to captivate audiences and leave them on the edge of their seats.
The scriptwriting duties fall to the talented duo Greg Weidman and Geoff Tock, known for their work on CBS's 'Limitless' and 'Zoo'. They are adapting the story from Goodrich's original work and a previous draft by Emily V. Gordon, the screenwriter behind the critically acclaimed 'The Big Sick'.
The film's production team includes Johnny Pariseau, Patrick Gooing, and Molly Milstein from Maximum Effort, alongside Jack Heller, Caitlin de Lisser-Ellen, and Lotta Losten.
Sandberg is no stranger to the horror genre, having directed 'Shazam!' and its sequel for Warner Bros./DC, and the New Line horror film 'Annabelle: Creation', which grossed over $300 million worldwide. He also adapted his own short film 'Lights Out' into a successful feature, proving his versatility in the industry. And this is where it gets interesting—Sandberg's latest venture, an adaptation of the video game 'Until Dawn', was released just last year, showcasing his commitment to diverse storytelling.
As the project unfolds, one can't help but wonder: will this film become another horror classic, or will it take a different path? Only time will tell, and we can't wait to see what Sandberg has in store for us. What do you think the film's biggest strengths and challenges might be? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
