The classic story The Most Dangerous Game has been turned into countless different movies over the years, most recently Blumhouse’s The Hunt, and it sounds like Lionsgate’s Escape the Field is cut from a similar cloth. Announced by Deadline this afternoon, Escape the Field has been picked up by Lionsgate for a planned “multi-platform release” this coming May.
Here’s the plot synopsis for director Emerson Moore‘s feature…
“The psychological thriller finds six strangers who suddenly awake in a remote, endless cornfield, stripped of their possessions and left with seemingly random items, ranging from an old revolver with a single bullet to an antique lantern.
“As klaxon sirens blare in the distance and traps appear at every turn, the group realizes they have been plunged into a cat-and-mouse game with an unseen evil, and survival depends upon solving a diabolical — and deadly — puzzle.”
Shane West (Gotham), Theo Rossi (True Story), Jordan Claire Robbins (The Umbrella Academy), Tahira Sharif (The Haunting of Bly Manor), Julian Feder (The Doorman), and Elena Juatco (Jann) star in Escape the Field, written by Moore, Joshua Dobkin and Sean Wathen.
