High-Concept Horror Film SHREDDED In The Works From A QUIET PLACE and THE PURGE Producers

Shredded Horror Movie From Quiet Place Purge Producers

Logical Pictures Group and Protagonist Pictures have announced that they will begin international sales at the upcoming European Film Market on "Shredded", a bold, high-concept horror feature produced by Platinum Dunes, the company behind "A Quiet Place" and "The Purge" franchises. Protagonist will co-rep international rights with newly launched Logical Pictures International (LPI), and UTA Independent Film Group will represent North American rights. Logical Pictures Group provides full financing for the film as well.

The film has been described as a "viscerally entertaining crowd-pleaser" that "fuses relentless suspense with viciously sharp commentary, delivering nonstop chills and an unflinching look at the darker side of modern fitness culture and self-obsession". Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Josh Lawson ("The Eleven O'Clock", "The Little Death", "Long Story Short"), the film is a propulsive thrill ride that pushes toxic gym culture to terrifying extremes - an electric descent into diabolical mayhem where brains prove far more valuable than brawn.

The story follows Eileen, who is reeling from a breakup and signs up for an intense gym class run by a charismatic but deranged coach. When she quits the program, he abducts her and imprisons her in his sadistic training compound, forcing her — and other captives — through punishing, often lethal workouts. As the physical toll mounts, Eileen must outwit the coach's vicious regimen and turn his obsession with control and perfection against him before it's too late.

The film is produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Alex Ginno for Platinum Dunes, and Jeff Golenberg for Strand Entertainment. Executive Producers include Frédéric Fiore, Ryan Wickers and Andrei Kamarowsky for Logical Pictures Group, alongside Dave Bishop, James Pugh and George Hamilton for Protagonist Pictures, and Troy Lum.

Platinum Dunes said in a statement: "Josh has crafted a deeply personal story that brings the horror directly into the audience's lives. He's the kind of filmmaker Platinum Dunes is built around – a writer/director with a clear point of view and a sharp instinct for delivering a twisted, crowd-pleasing ride. After Shredded, audiences won’t look at gym equipment — or those wall-length mirrors — the same way again. We're beyond excited to support him in bringing it to life with Protagonist and Logical as partners."

Andrei Kamarowsky, Head of International at Logical Pictures Group, added: "Platinum Dunes has an extraordinary track record of creating iconic horror, and we're thrilled to be joining Shredded and collaborating with our partners at Protagonist on this exciting new project".

Protagonist Pictures' CEO Dave Bishop said: "Shredded is a high concept horror as brutal and unapologetically intense as the ultimate workout from hell. We're thrilled to be partnering with Platinum Dunes on this bold and timely white-knuckle ride. Tapping directly into contemporary anxieties around control, self-obsession and self-improvement, Shredded is set to put worldwide theatrical audiences through their paces".
