Michael Clear will also serve as producer with Judson Scott overseeing for the company. Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald (“The Trench”) are teaming on the adapted screenplay.

The next project for Atomic Monster is “The Conjuring 3,” starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, which is set for release on Sept. 11, 2020. The company is in pre-production on “Mortal Kombat,” which is set for release on March 5, 2021; “There’s Someone Inside Your House” for Netflix; and an untitled project to be directed by Wan.

Wan is also on board for the “Aquaman” sequel. His other directing credits include “Saw,” the first two “Insidious” movies, the first two “Conjuring” movies and “Furious 7.”
