Alexandre Aja has had quite the prolific career so far, bringing us the international hit HIGH TENSION, aquatic horror with PIRANHA 3D, the gory and fun remake of THE HILLS HAVE EYES, reflections of evil with MIRRORS, and most recently gave the devil his due with HORNS. Now it seems he has his sights set on the horrors of matrimony with the new psychological thriller WEDDING GOWN.
Bloody Disgusting is sharing that Aja is currently in pre-production on the new thriller that he co-penned with Maxime Giffard and THE WOMAN IN BLACK‘s Jon Crocker.
WEDDING GOWN, from Aja’s Alexandre Films, is described to us as a cruel fable about vengeance and manipulation in a world where we watch face our own personal evil.
“A child on the verge of tears. A woman’s hand, impatient, brutal. Sophie: The babysitter. Now the child lays dead. Did she kill him? A woman who’s losing her mind, her life spinning out of control, is followed by death wherever she goes. Only a year ago she was a fulfilled woman, a sharp art analyst, and a happy wife surrounded by a loving circle of family and friends. So how did she come to this? What sort of madness overtook her? Or was it manipulation? In search of a new identity to escape a string of deaths, Sophie is followed by an enigmatic man- Peter. This mysterious person seems to know a great deal about her. Way too much, in fact…”
The film is based on the book by critically acclaimed writer Pierre Lemaitre.
Sounds like an interesting project and with Aja's involvement I'm sure we're in for a treat with this one. More on WEDDING GOWN as we hear it.
