Jordan Peele‘s next production sounds a bit like Pet Sematary, only the horror comes from the bottom of a pit in the back of a family’s yard.
Universal Pictures, “Insecure” star and creator Issa Rae and Oscar-winner Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us) are teaming up on Sinkhole, a “thought-provoking genre piece that engages with questions of female perfection and identity,” reports Deadline.
Leyna Krow’s short story is “about a young family which moves into their dream home, except for the gaping sinkhole in the backyard.
“The mysterious sinkhole manages to fix broken and destroyed things. However, the story asks, what if that thing is a person?”
Rae, whose “Insecure” scored three Emmy nominations yesterday, will potentially star in the adaptation.
Per the site: “Writer Krow is from Spokane, Washington, and the story is set on the street she lives on. She was initially inspired to write the piece when a group of local writers were asked to write short fairytales on the theme ‘I Married A Monster’. She wanted to explore the notion of female perfection and was particularly interested in the ways society and cultures can promote the concept of women as imperfect or broken. Her story has the trappings of a grounded, psychological sci-fi/horror, but the sub-plot is a commentary on the human condition through the lens of female identity.”
Rae will also produce with Universal and Peele’s Monkeypaw. Producers are Peele and Rosenfeld, with Rae, Montrel McKay and Sara Rastogi for Issa Rae Productions.
