The cinematic spotlight is now firmly focused on André Ovredal's upcoming horror masterpiece, 'Passenger.' Paramount Pictures has officially unveiled the film's title and has set a prime summer theatrical date of May 29th, revealing a project that stars Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, and Melissa Leo. The plot details are being meticulously guarded, much like a precious cargo in a secure luggage.
Walter Hamada is spearheading the production under his 18Hz banner alongside Gary Dauberman and his Coin Operated label. Ovredal's last venture, 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter,' explored the Dracula mythos from a unique perspective, and he is renowned for his collaborations such as Guillermo del Toro's 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.'
'Passenger' currently enjoys a solo slot on May 29th, though it will be surrounded by the likes of Disney and Lucasfilm's 'Mandalorian & Grogu' (May 22nd) and 'Masters of the Universe' (June 5th). Meanwhile, Paramount and producer Hamada are gearing up to unleash 'Primate,' a January 9th horror feature that delves into the disastrous consequences of keeping a pet chimpanzee.
