Noah Hawley — the Emmy-winning creative behind Fargo and Alien: Earth — has set his next film project with Warner Bros., a remake of the Argentine supernatural horror Terrified.
Hawley is set to direct and produce the feature, which is being developed with Demián Rugna, the writer-director behind the original Spanish-language feature, Aterrados.
The project will be a reimagining of the 2017 film, which centers on a police officer and a series of paranormal researchers and investigators who attempt to get to the bottom of supernatural occurrences that are centered in one neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
Hawley will produce under his Austin-based banner, 26 Keys. 26 Keys most recently released Alien: Earth, the critically acclaimed series based on the classic sci-fi franchise, which is set for a second season at Hulu and FX. (The Hollywood Reporter’s review of the series called it a “thrilling epic about personhood, hubris and, of course, the primal pleasure of watching people get absolutely rocked by space monsters.”)
26 Keys is also behind Hawley’s anthology series Fargo, the Emmys juggernaut that has been nominated for 70 Primetime Emmy awards, including seven wins over its five seasons, as well as the FX series Legion.
Hawley, who is repped by WME, Untitled and McKuin Frankel, made his feature film directorial debut in 2019 with Fox Searchlight’s Lucy in the Sky. He is also the author of six novels, the most recent being 2022’s Anthem.
Rugna, who is also behind 2023 IFC and Shudder horror When Evil Lurks, is represented by WME and Johnson Shapiro.
