Vera Farmiga to Star in Supernatural Horror Film INFERNO

Academy Award nominee Vera Farmiga ("The Conjuring", "Up in the Air") is set to star in and executive produce the horror film "Inferno" written and directed by Bryan Hill (HBO Max's "Titans"). The film is scheduled to begin production in late spring.

Based on the long-rumored special division of Britain's Scotland Yard that investigates the occult, Farmiga will portray a former detective whose pursuit of a killer forces her back into the "Black Branch" and on the trail of the paranormal terror she thought she'd escaped.

Producers include Ara Keshishian ("Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile", "Kidnap") and Petr Jákl's ("Land of Bad") ZQ Entertainment ("Feed" starring Rosamund Pike, and Armando Ianucci's newly announced untitled feature), alongside Adrian Askarieh's Prime Universe Films ("Hitman" franchise). Manifest Pictures are handling international sales and will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming American Film Market. CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group will co-rep domestic rights.

Director Bryan Hill said the following in a statement: "Great horror films challenge what we believe about the world. With INFERNO, I want to create a terrifying mystery that stays with audiences long after the credits roll. Vera Farmiga is an extraordinary actor whose intelligence, emotional depth, and commanding presence make her the perfect person to lead us into and through that darkness".

Yvette Zhuang, co-CEO of Manifest Pictures added: "INFERNO is a sophisticated supernatural thriller that marries the investigative propulsion of a serial-killer procedural with the visceral terror of possession horror"

Zach Glueck, co-CEO of Manifest Pictures said: "We were immediately sucked into Hill's script, which has unnerving procedural tension of Manhunter and the emotional, performance-driven horror of The Exorcist or Longlegs. Hill's work collaborating with incredible directors from Ryan Coogler to Sam Raimi, and his experience on shows like HBO's Titans, has prepared him for his role as a multi-hyphenate creator".

Hill's first feature, "Archangel", is currently in post-production, with Image Nation ("Dune", "Late Night with the Devil"), Roy Lee ("Resident Evil", "It", "Weapons") and Steven Schneiders Spooky Pictures, and Hill's Kevlar Creative all producing. His work spans film, television, graphic novels and games. His screenwriting credits include "Bitter Root" for Proximity and Legendary, "The Purgatory Game" for Lyrical Media, and Universal's upcoming Prince biopic produced by Ryan Coogler. His acclaimed comics work includes "American Carnage", "Chariot", "Blade: Evil Against Evil", and "Batman and the Outsiders".
