“It follows a young refugee couple
who make a harrowing escape from war-torn Sudan but then struggle to
adjust to their new life in a small English town that has an evil
lurking beneath the surface.“
Wunmi Mosaku (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) and Sope Dirisu (The Huntsman: Winter’s War) are set to star in the film, which will have a major budget for first-time UK filmmaker
Remi Weekes
of close to $10m.
The shoot is being lined up for this spring in the UK.
