ScreenDaily reports that Brandon Cronenberg’s (Antiviral) next could be the upcoming drama Infinity Pool, about an all-inclusive holiday in an exotic luxury resort that takes a sinister turn.
Based on an original screenplay written by Cronenberg, the son of the acclaimed director David Cronenberg, Infinity Pool centers on uninspired writer and his wife who are befriended by a glamorous couple, while on an all-inclusive vacation on a picturesque island. The couples head off on a forbidden picnic in the island’s off-limits countryside that takes a sinister turn.
“Brandon’s script confronts our deepest existential fears while piquing us with wicked social satire about the entitled behaving very badly in an exotic, uncanny location,” said Celluloid Dreams founder and president Hengameh Panahi and vice president Charlotte Mickie.
Ahead of Cannes, Paris-based Celluloid Dreams has boarded the film both as a co-production partner and as its international sales agent.
The Canada-Hungary-France co-production is being produced by Karen Harnisch and Andrew Cividino at Toronto-based Film Forge Productions, and Rob Cotterill, Cronenberg’s longtime collaborator. Daniel Kresmery will serve as the film’s Hungarian co-producer, with Jonathan Halperyn as an executive producer.
It is due to shoot in late 2019.
