Bigger Boat Has A House at the End of the Street

Today Variety announced that FilmNation Entertainment and A Bigger Boat are combining to finance and produce "House at the End of the Street," a psychological thriller based on a story written by Jonathan Mostow. The film will be directed by Mark Tonderai from a David Loucka script.

The film had been set up at Universal and developed through the discretionary fund of Mostow/Lieberman. The producers, who subsequently split up, got the picture in turnaround and set it to be co-financed by FilmNation's Glen Basner and GreeneStreet Films, which partners with Block in A Bigger Boat.

Intention is to start production later this year. That will likely make the film the first production for FilmNation since Basner formed the venture in 2008 as an international sales arm and brought Ryder in shortly after to start a production division. Block just wrapped the John Carpenter-directed thriller "The Ward" as well as "Frozen."
