Wan, of course, is coming off of Universal Pictures’ box office mega hit Furious 7 which he directed to a $1.5B+ global box office take. Wan and New Line previously teamed on The Conjuring which ended up grossing a whopping $318M worldwide on what was a modest budget. Eric Heisserer wrote the screenplay and is also a producer as is Lawrence Grey (Grey Matter Productions). The film, which starts production on Monday, is about a young boy and his estranged sister who are confronted by an evil entity that only appears when the lights are out. The film is based on Sandberg’s short horror film of the same name which went viral (you can watch it below). David Sandberg will make his feature film directorial debut and James Wan will produce. The horror film will be Atomic Monster’s second with New Line after Annabelle, which grossed $255.2M worldwide when it was released last fall. EXCLUSIVE: Teresa Palmer, who has three films readying for release including Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups, has been cast as the lead in Atomic Monster’s Lights Out for New Line Cinema.
