"Do Not Enter”
Lionsgate and Suretone Pictures unveiled the official trailer for their supernatural horror thriller "Do Not Enter,” based on David Morrell's bestselling novel "Creepers."
The movie, written by Stephen Susco and produced by former Geffen Records President Jordan Schur, follows a group of young urban explorers who venture into New Jersey's abandoned Paragon Hotel seeking a legendary gangster's missing $300 million fortune, only to encounter hostile rivals and supernatural forces.
Jordan Schur, Chairman and CEO of Suretone Pictures, said the project represents a decade of development. "We have arrived at our destination with a powerful script adapted from a timeless book and a gifted director leading the charge," Schur stated. "We could not ask for a better partner in Lionsgate."
Eda Kowan, Lionsgate's Executive Vice President of Acquisitions, added: "We are excited to work with Jordan and the team at Suretone along with Marc Klasfeld to bring this supernatural adventure thriller to audiences everywhere."
BLENDING HORROR WITH TRADITIONAL THRILLER
The story centers on thrill-seeking urban explorers known as the Creepers, who livestream their adventures from abandoned locations. Their venture into the notorious Paragon Hotel becomes a fight for survival against both human adversaries and supernatural entities.
Adeline Rudolph ("The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina") leads the cast as Diane. Nicholas Hamilton ("IT") plays Tod, Francesca Reale ("Stranger Things") portrays Cora, while Jake Manley ("The Order") takes on Rick and Laurence O'Fourain ("Game of Thrones") plays Frank Balenger.
The film promises to blend found-footage horror elements with traditional thriller components, capitalizing on the popularity of urban exploration content across social media platforms.
