They asked to keep the content specifics under wraps, other than to call it an intense survival thriller at sea reminiscent of films like Alien and The Thing. The title offers a good idea of what\u2019s in store for the boat passengers. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/scott-free\/\" id=\"auto-tag_scott-free\" data-tag=\"scott-free\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Free<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss and Rebecca Feuer will produce the film alongside R\u00f8nning.\u00a0The director wrote the screenplay\u00a0with his brother Andreas R\u00f8nning and brought the project\u00a0to Scott Free. The latest revisions\u00a0of the script are from Noah Harpster and Micah Fitzerman-Blue (A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWhile most studios try to stay away from the water for film locations, R\u00f8nning grew up in a small coastal town in Norway and has retained that level of comfort with water in the many films he has helmed. That includes his last film, the Daisy Ridley-starrer The Young Woman and the Sea, as well as Kon-Tiki, the journey of explorer Thor Heyerdahl who crossed the Pacific on a raft made of balsa wood, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The latter two films R\u00f8nning directed with childhood friend Espen Sandberg after they made Hollywood films together after becoming preeminent commercial makers in Scandinavia under the name of Roenberg. After they split, R\u00f8nning directed Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tR\u00f8nning is repped by UTA and Sloane Offer, Scott Free is with CAA, and Harpster and Fitzerman-Blueare are with UTA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Pictures acquired at auction Here Be Monsters, a sea-set survival thriller that has franchise ambitions.
