Final yr, Common Footage, Blumhouse Productions, and Atomic Monster introduced us the swimming pool horror film Evening Swim, which wasn’t very nicely acquired. (You may learn our 4/10 evaluate at THIS LINK.) Now, Deadline experiences that one other swimming pool horror film is within the works. It’s referred to as Inground, and Alexandra Daddario (Mayfair Witches) and John Cho (Looking) have signed on to star in it. Right here’s hoping that this one will go over higher than Evening Swim did.
Aaron Katz (Gemini) will likely be directing the movie from a screenplay by Dan Dworkin (American Horror Story). Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, and Sam Roston will produce for Scott Free Productions, whereas Joshua Harris and Nathan Klingher will produce for Gramercy Park, which is offering the financing. Michael Rothstein, Samuel Corridor, and Warren Goz function govt producers for north.5.six., alongside Mark Fasano and Ford Corbett of Gramercy Park Media.
Right here’s the logline: A just lately divorced father makes an attempt to reconnect along with his younger son by constructing a swimming pool in his yard that they will each get pleasure from over the course of a protracted, sizzling summer time. What begins as an thrilling venture turns right into a terrifying nightmare.
Inground is predicted to begin filming in March of 2026.
John Cho just lately began within the horror film AfrAId, which was one other poorly acquired Blumhouse manufacturing. He may need extra horror cred than you notice, as his credit embody the 2019 model of The Grudge, an episode of The Twilight Zone, a number of episodes of The Exorcist, a number of episodes of Sleepy Hole, Caller ID: Entity, and Earth vs. the Spider. Along with Mayfair Witches, Alexandra Daddario’s credit embody Songbird, We Summon the Darkness, We Have At all times Lived within the Citadel, American Horror Story, Burying the Ex, Bereavement, The Attic, and Texas Chainsaw 3D. (Don’t blame her for the memorable “Do your thing, cuz” line.)
