Dario Argento & Franco Nero Join Interactive Horror-Thriller ‘The Run’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: British filmmaker Paul Raschid has added veteran Italian filmmaker Dario Argento (Suspiria, Inferno, Deep Red) and actor Franco Nero (Django Unchained, The Pope’s Exorcist, John Wick) to his latest interactive project The Run.
Raschid directs from a screenplay he also wrote. The film is described as a “horror-thriller”. The interactive element will involve the viewer being asked to make high-stakes decisions for the protagonist at various points throughout the story that will affect the direction of the narrative and in some cases, result in early death.
The project is currently shooting in Northern Italy. The story is set on a remote running trail, where a famous fitness influencer’s morning run becomes a race for survival when she is hunted by seemingly motiveless killers.
She meets local farmer Matteo along the way and the viewer’s choices determine whether they live or die. Also starring are Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones, Hercules, Strike Back) and George Blagden (Vikings, Black Mirror, Versailles).
