Djimon Hounsou has signed on to star in the horror flick Monster, which will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, according to a report on Deadline.
The film is said to follow “two millennials who make quick money by leasing incredible New York City apartments they don’t own to people who don’t know they are being scammed. The con works brilliantly until they run into an apartment owner with a dark secret who flips the game on them.”
The Monster is being produced by Lee Nelson and David Tish of Envision Media Arts (The Ice Road) alongside Saw franchise producer Mark Burg.
“Darren sent me a script with incredible twists and turns and the opportunity to work with him and the brilliant Djimon Hounsou,” said Burg. “This movie will be amazing and scare the hell out of audiences worldwide.”
Tish and Nelson added: “We love finding new ways into horror and when we read The Monster we knew it was special. With Djimon and the minds behind one of horror’s biggest franchises, genre fans are in for something fresh and scary.”
Principal photography is due to start in Danbury, Connecticut, in November. Keep it locked to Horror News Network for more on The Monster.
