Variety is reporting that Brian De Palma has signed on to direct the action thriller Lights Out, which is being financed by Aurora Alliance Films, a joint venture between Arclight Films and China’s Huace Pictures.
Lights Out will follow “a blind Chinese girl unknowingly caught in a plot to expose a top-secret assassination program. Although blind, she is able to use her other heightened senses to fight back and become a hero.”
“De Palma is a proven master of suspense; in the hands of the legendary director, ‘Lights Out’ promises to be a thriller for the ages, full of empowering messages, harrowing plot turns and great action sequences,” states Ying Ye, MD of Aurora Alliance.
Lights Out will mark De Palma’s first film since Passion in 2012.
