Oscar nominated actress Vera Farmiga is starring in and producing the upcoming supernatural movie Inferno.

Bryan Hill (“Titans”) will be writing and directing.

The film is “based on the long-rumored special division of Britain’s Scotland Yard that investigates the occult, with Farmiga set to portray a former detective whose pursuit of a killer forces her back into the Black Branch and on the trail of the paranormal terror she thought she’d escaped.”

“Great horror films challenge what we believe about the world. With Inferno, 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,” said director Bryan Hill.

“Inferno is a sophisticated supernatural thriller that marries the investigative propulsion of a serial-killer procedural with the visceral terror of possession horror,” said Yvette Zhuang, co-CEO of Manifest Pictures.

“We were immediately sucked into Hill’s script, which has unnerving procedural tension of Manhunter and the emotional, performance-driven horror of The Exorcist or Longlegs,” added Zach Glueck, co-CEO of Manifest Pictures. “Hill’s work collaborating with incredible directors from Ryan Coogler to Sam Raimi, and his experience on shows like HBO’s Titans, has prepared him for his role as a multi-hyphenate creator.”

Inferno is being produced by Ara Keshishian (Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, Kidnap) and Petr Jákl’s (Land of Bad) ZQ Entertainment (upcoming Feed with Rosamund Pike), alongside Adrian Askarieh’s Prime Universe Films (Hitman franchise).

Variety first reported on the film.
