The film marks another high-profile collaboration between genre powerhouses James Wan and Jason Blum, who are producing alongside John Keville.

Currently, she stars as Mariam in the newest season of Netflix’s Vikings: Valhalla, created by Jeb Stuart.

Meanwhile, Blumhouse continues to bolster its horror slate with upcoming releases including The Black Phone 2 (October 17), Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (December 5), and Soulm8te (January 9). Last year’s Speak No Evil, starring James McAvoy, turned out to be one of the company’s most profitable ventures, earning $76.8 million globally on a $15 million production budget and netting $50 million.
