Renowned director Louis Leterrier, whose films have amassed a staggering billion in global box office revenue, is ready to set the screen ablaze yet again with his new venture – a science-fiction horror film called, ‘11817’. Recognized for his exemplary work in cinematic masterpieces such as Fast X, Transporter, Clash of the Titans, and The Incredible Hulk, Leterrier is also on board as a producer for the film.

Pending the casting process, 11817 was written by Matthew Robinson and will be showcased by Rocket Science at the famous Cannes Film Festival. Rocket Science is not only presenting the film but also financing it along with Leterrier’s Carrousel Studios, Thank You Studios, Chernin Entertainment, and 3 Arts Entertainment. Encouragingly for the American market, CAA Media Finance will be responsible for handling the North American sale of the movie.

11817 has an intriguing plot that is likely to pique the interest of science-fiction horror fans. The story unfolds around a family that finds themselves inexplicably trapped in their own home, surrounded by invisible, enigmatic forces that don’t let them leave. With no indication as to when they might be freed from their situation, they combat their rising fear and dwindling resources, propelling a gripping narrative of survival against unseen adversaries.

Teaming up with our acclaimed director-producer are a host of accomplished producers comprising of Thomas Benski, Omar Sy, Lars Sylvest, Kori Adelson, Oly Obst, Thorsten Schumacher, and Joe Neurauter. Adding further weight to this star-studded lineup is Cecile Gaget, who is appointed as an executive producer.

Holding an illustrious portfolio of grand-scale films, Leterrier’s talent in storytelling through dynamic visuals and compelling narratives has held audiences captive worldwide.
