EXCLUSIVE: British genre specialist Tea Shop, known for 47 Meters Down and coming off breakout thriller Fall, is lining up its next survival pic in the shape of The Bayou, which Architect is launching for sales in Cannes.
The movie, also produced by fledgling UK outfit Cowboy Cosmonaut, crash-lands a group of friends in the water-logged, inhospitable Louisiana swamplands where they’re hunted by a fearsome, primordial apex predator.
Megan Best (Seance) leads the unfortunate survivors, out of their depth, who are picked off one-by-one by a relentless pack of gators, led by a ferocious alpha female.
Filming is being lined up for Q4, 2023. The Bayou, written by Gavin Mehrtens from a story by Ashley Holberry, will be directed by Matthew Ninaber (Death Valley) and is produced by Mehrtens and Holberry for Cowboy Cosmonaut and by Mark Lane and James Harris for Tea Shop Productions.
