Scott Strauss’ Badlands Acquires Peter Gaffney’s Killer Wasp Thriller Spec ‘Hivemind’
'Hivemind,' an environmental thriller spec from Peter Gaffney, has been swooped up by Scott Strauss’s Badlands.
The first project set to emerge from the company, making an aggressive push into the genre space, is Arachnid, a spider thriller directed by Ángel Gómez Hernández and starring Matilda Lutz, which recently wrapped production. Inspired by a true story from 2001, Badlands’ Lions, Tigers, and Bears sees unsavory characters keeping animals in captivity get their just desserts when a set of ultimate predators break free and team up for revenge. Badlands commences production on Dangerous Games To Play, also directed by Hernández, this summer and shoots Hong Won-ki’s K-pop thriller Perfect Girl this fall.
