Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver‘s Edgar Wright is getting back behind the camera for The Chain, a bonkers sounding kidnapping thriller for Universal Pictures, reports Deadline.
Clearly inspired by the 1970 short story “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson, which was adapted into an episode of “The Twilight Zone” and the feature film The Box, directed by Richard Kelly:
“The Chain tells the story of Rachel, who learns that her 11-year-old daughter has been kidnapped. The only way to get her back is to kidnap another child.
“Her daughter will be released only when that next victim’s parents kidnap another child. If Rachel doesn’t kidnap another child, or if that child’s parents don’t kidnap a child, her daughter will be murdered. She is now part of The Chain, a terrifying and meticulous chain letter-like kidnapping scheme that turns parents from victims into criminals.”
The 2019 bestselling novel is by Adrian McKinty. Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Golden Circle, X-Men: First Class) is writing the script.
Edgar Wright‘s new movie Last Night in Soho had was recently pulled from its September 2020 release date and is now set for a theatrical run on April 23, 2021.
