First introduced at the Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight in 2023, Stephan Castang's 'Vincent Must Die' captivated audiences with its wildly original premise. Starring Karim Leklou, the feature film even earned a nomination for Best Film at the César Awards the following year.

Now, Hollywood is taking notice. Variety reports that screenwriter and director David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick will pen an American adaptation, co-produced by Blumhouse (known for 'Halloween,' 'Get Out,' and 'Obsession') and Atomic Monster—the production company founded by James Wan, director of 'The Conjuring' and 'Insidious.'

What is the film about?

In 'Vincent Must Die,' the protagonist finds his ordinary life upended overnight when he is inexplicably attacked repeatedly by strangers attempting to kill him. As the phenomenon intensifies, he is forced to flee and drastically alter his way of life.

This project marks David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick's directorial debut for a feature film. He is widely recognized for his screenwriting contributions to films such as 'Orphan,' 'Aquaman,' and entries in 'The Conjuring' franchise.

As of now, no casting details or release date information have been disclosed.
