“A24 has unveiled its next nightmare”

I’m thrilled and grateful to announce that my short story, “Altar”, is being adapted into a major motion picture by the incredible A24.

The feature will be directed by Egor Abramenko, who directed a wonderful sci-fi/horror movie called Sputnik, that you should definitely check out if you haven’t seen it.

The screenplay was written Will Soodik, who worked on the television juggernaut Westworld. I’ve read his script and it’s bonkers and amazing and is an incredible expansion of my original story. I couldn’t be happier that Egor and Will are taking the helm on this adaptation.

Variety broke the news exclusively that the cast has been confirmed - and what a cast: Kyle MacLachlan, January Jones, Lily Collias, David Krumholtz, and newcomer Hudson Behling as “Gary”.

Filming is scheduled to begin filming in Canada next month, and I’m hoping the movie will come out sometime in 2025 (but that’s just an educated guess!).

While A24 is purposely keeping plot details under wraps, you can always read the original short story, which is available in my collection, BEHOLD THE VOID.
