The writers are Sandra Becerril, who has published 34 horror novels and has won the Arial Award for Best Screenplay, and Henry Bedwell (Darker Than Night, Karem Possessed), who is also attached to direct. Becerril is currently writing a feature script for Fabula, the Chilean production house of Pablo Lorraín (Spencer).
Star Derbez last year struck a first-look deal with Spanish-language streamer Pantaya, which later merged with VIX after TelevisaUnivision bought the platform. In recent years, he has appeared in English-language feature such as The Seventh Day, opposite Guy Pearce, and White Elephant, alongside Bruce Willis and John Malkovich.
Derbez, Becerril and Bedwell are all managed by Avatar’s Robinson.
