Sandberg to direct horror film A Little Slice of Hell"},"content":{"rendered":"

Director David F. Sandberg got his feature film career started with feature expansion of his short horror film\u00a0Lights Out. He followed that with the Conjuring Universe prequel\u00a0Annabelle: Creation, then jumped into the superhero world for\u00a0Shazam!\u00a0and\u00a0Shazam! Fury of the Gods. He circled back to horror for the video game adaptation\u00a0Until Dawn, and it was recently announced<\/a> that he\u2019ll be staying there for a reimagining of\u00a0The Amityville Horror. Now, Deadline<\/a> reports that Sandberg has added another horror project to his slate: A Little Slice of Hell, which he\u2019ll be making for Paramount Pictures.<\/p>\n

Story<\/p>\n

A Little Slice of Hell is based on a short story of the same name by John Goodrich, which was originally published in the first issue of\u00a0Assemble Artifacts, the short story magazine from Assemble Media. The story follows two underpaid supermarket employees who realize that they should have read the employee manual after encountering a customer from Hell \u2014 literally.<\/p>\n

Greg Weidman and Geoff Tock, who have previously written for TV shows like\u00a0Limitless\u00a0and\u00a0Zoo\u00a0at CBS, are writing the script, working not just from Goodrich\u2019s story but also a previous draft of the script that was written by\u00a0The Big Sick\u2019s Emily V. Gordon. (Whose husband, actor\/comedian Kumail Nanjiani, recently announced that he\u2019ll be making his feature directorial debut with a horror film called Howl<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Maximum Effort<\/p>\n

Johnny Pariseau, Patrick Gooing, and Molly Milstein are producing A Little Slice of Hell for Maximum Effort, alongside Jack Heller, Caitlin de Lisser-Ellen for Assemble, and Lotta Losten.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t read A Little Slice of Hell, but it sounds like it has a fun set-up, so I look forward to seeing how a feature adaptation is going to turn out. I have also been following the career of David F. Sandberg since he caught attention with the short film that led to Lights Out, so it will be interesting to see what he does with this subject matter. I wasn\u2019t a fan of Until Dawn, but I thought he did well with Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation, and the Shazam movies.<\/p>\n
