Daily Variety reports that Trancas International Films, the production house behind almost all the Halloween films including the recent remake, have chosen director Adam Finberg to helm Hurt, from a script by Anthony Grieco (no relation to Richard) and Jeff Drongowski, marking the duo’s first script sale.
First-time writers working with first-time directors; if only it could go this well for anyone out there with aspirations to direct some day … Hurt revolves around a group of friends who gather for a funeral for one of their own, which quickly turns into a bloodbath because it was setup as retribution.
Halloween producer Malek Akkad, son of the late Moustapha, will help produce Hurt, marking one of the first times in a while Trancas has produced anything but a Halloween film.
