\n\tHaving only recently concluded her 5-feature stint leading hit horror franchise \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d with 2025\u2019s \u201cLast Rites,\u201d Vera Farmiga<\/a> is stepping back into the world of the supernatural. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar nominee is set to star in and exec produced \u201cInferno,\u201d being written and directed by Bryan Hill (HBO Max\u2019s \u201cTitans\u201d). The film is being produced by Ara Keshishian (\u201cExtremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,\u201d \u201cKidnap\u201d) and Petr J\u00e1kl\u2019s (\u201cLand of Bad\u201d) ZQ Entertainment (\u201cFeed\u201d with Rosamund Pike, and Armando Ianucci\u2019s newly announced untitled feature), alongside Adrian Askarieh\u2019s Prime Universe Films (the \u201cHitman\u201d franchise).<\/p>\n

\n\tManifest Pictures are handling international sales and will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming American Film Market<\/a>. CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group will co-rep domestic rights.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the synopsis, \u201cInferno\u201d is based on the \u201clong-rumored\u201d special division of Britain\u2019s Scotland Yard that investigates the occult, with Farmiga set to portray a former detective whose pursuit of a killer forces her back into the \u201cBlack Branch\u201d and on the trail of the paranormal terror she thought she\u2019d escaped.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is scheduled to begin production in late spring.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGreat horror films challenge what we believe about the world,\u201d said Hill. \u201cWith \u2018Inferno,\u2019 I want to create a terrifying mystery that stays with audiences long after the credits roll. Vera Farmiga is an extraordinary actor whose intelligence, emotional depth, and commanding presence make her the perfect person to lead us into and through that darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHill\u2019s first feature, Archangel, is currently in post-production. His work spans film, television, graphic novels and games. His screenwriting credits include \u201cBitter Root,\u201d \u201cThe Purgatory Game\u201d and Universal\u2019s upcoming Prince biopic, to be produced by Ryan Coogler. His comics work includes \u201cAmerican Carnage,\u201d \u201cChariot,\u201d \u201cBlade: Evil Against Evil,\u201d and \u201cBatman and the Outsiders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2019Inferno\u2019 is a sophisticated supernatural thriller that marries the investigative propulsion of a serial-killer procedural with the visceral terror of possession horror,\u201d said Yvette Zhuang, co-CEO of Manifest Pictures. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe were immediately sucked into Hill\u2019s script, which has unnerving procedural tension of \u2018Manhunter\u2019 and the emotional, performance-driven horror of \u2018The Exorcist\u2019 or \u2018Longlegs,\u2019\u201d added Zach Glueck, co-CEO of Manifest Pictures. \u201cHill\u2019s work collaborating with incredible directors from Ryan Coogler to Sam Raimi, and his experience on shows like HBO\u2019s \u2018Titans,\u2019 has prepared him for his role as a multi-hyphenate creator.\u201d<\/p>\n
