*The producers of “M3GAN have announced their new supernatural thriller, “Night Swim,” based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire.

A new trailer dropped this week featuring stars Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) “as Ray Waller, a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren, Fear the Walking Dead),” per the official synopsis.

“Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him,” the description continues. “But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.”

“Night Swim” is written and directed by Bryce McGuire and hails from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse. The film is produced by James Wan (Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises) and Jason Blum.

In an interview with ComingSoon, McGuire explained why Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are a perfect fit for this project.

“James loves taking something that’s supposed to be safe and ruining it, McGuire said. 

“He loves it. Whether it’s a doll or, I mean that’s done, but there’s almost mischievousness in his love for just like, you think that’s fun, that’s safe? No. It is done. You’re done. Like you never look at it the same,” the director continued. “So I feel like that level that, to that super high concept, commercial aspect of taking something that’s familiar and safe and ruining it with—Blumhouse really like, brought a lot of character focus, and really cared a lot about these roles and these characters and this family’s journey,” he told the outlet. 

“And I think that it was the perfect kind of marriage of the high concept, high-octane thrills and chills with this kind of thematic depth and kind of character stuff going on. So it was, I feel very, very lucky.”
