THE RITUAL director David Bruckner just finished directing at least one episode of Shudder's upcoming Creepshow series and will soon be going into production on the supernatural thriller THE NIGHT HOUSE – and now we may already know what he'll be making after THE NIGHT HOUSE.

Bruckner is attached to direct the sci-fi thriller OUT THERE, a project that has been acquired by Entertainment One.

There isn't a lot of information available on OUT THERE, but we know the screenplay has been written by former Syfy and Bravo executive Ian Levy and the story is said to be something along the lines of Stephen King's THE MIST (that's Frank Darabont's cinematic adaptation of THE MIST pictured above). OUT THERE  

deals with a mysterious event that changes the course of the world. One family struggles to survive.

Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman of The Picture Company will be producing the film, with Zev Foreman and Josie Liang overseeing the production for Entertainment One.

Bruckner doing something like THE MIST sounds interesting to me. I look forward to hearing what exactly OUT THERE's "mysterious event" actually is.
