David F. Sandberg to Direct Horror Movie ‘Mommy’s Home’

David F. Sandberg is set to direct a new psychological horror movie, 'Mommy's Home', for Lionsgate. The movie is based on a screenplay by James Morosini and follows a young dad whose family life becomes terrifyingly unhinged when his cryogenically preserved mom is unfrozen and sent to live with him.

The film will be produced by Sandberg and Lotta Losten through their company Mångata, alongside Craig Flores, Dawn Olmstead, and Anonymous Content. Nathan Kahane, James Morosini, David Levine, Garrett Kemble, and Ryan Schwartz will executive produce the movie.

Scott O'Brien and Maria Ascanio are overseeing the project for Lionsgate, with Dan Freedman negotiating the deal on behalf of the studio. James Morosini is also set to direct his original movie 'Bulls'.

## What it means The announcement marks another high-profile project for Sandberg, who has previously directed 'Lights Out', 'Shazam!', and 'Until Dawn'. Morosini, who is also an actor, has written and directed the dark comedy 'I Love My Dad' and is set to make his mark in the horror genre with 'Mommy's Home'.

## Why it matters The film's unique premise and blend of horror and dark humor are likely to generate significant interest among fans of the genre. With Sandberg at the helm, 'Mommy's Home' is expected to deliver a chilling and unsettling viewing experience. The project's success will depend on the execution of its bold concept, but with a talented team behind it, the film has the potential to make a significant impact in the horror movie landscape.

The involvement of Lionsgate and a talented team of producers and executive producers also underscores the studio's commitment to developing innovative and thrilling horror content. As the horror genre continues to evolve, 'Mommy's Home' is poised to be a standout title in the coming years.
