The currently untitled film will be written by Alexandre Aja alongside Jeff Howard (The Haunting of Hill House) and Nick Simon (The Girl in the Photographs). But how on earth does Aja plan on executing the project? Per Collider:
Looking at the glass half-full, we’ve got a great lineup of creatives here. Alexandre Aja’s surprisingly thrilling Crawl is probably the most fun I’ve had at the theatres all summer. We also have Jeff Howard who not only wrote a couple of episodes of the brilliant The Haunting of Hill House, he also wonderfully penned the screenplay adaptation of Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game. But the cynical side of me keeps imagining a theatre filled with people on their cellphones and that sounds like an absolute nightmare. I’ve also not been a fan of the format in general, preferring instead to watch a writer and director’s story play out, instead of making decisions for a character.
