Eli Roth’s The Horror Section Inks Deal With Construction Film

Eli Roth‘s recently-launched company The Horror Section has signed a deal with Construction Film, the German-based production banner founded by producer and actress Veronica Ferres (“The Unforgivable,” “Salt and Fire”).

The multi-year, multi-picture co-financing and production alliance — signed in partnership with Media Capital Technologies — has launched with the announcement of two genre-driven feature titles.

Leading the slate is a German-language remake of Eli Roth’s 2015 psychological crime thriller “Knock Knock,” which originally starred Keanu Reeves and Ana de Armas. Roth is set to produce. He will also write and direct an original project, “Final Cut,” a giallo feature currently in development in which Veronica Ferres will play a principal role. Further details on all projects remain under wraps.

“I’m so thrilled to be partnering with Veronica and the team at Construction Film. Veronica is a superb talent both as a star and producer, and I look forward to working with her as a director and producing partner,” said Roth. “I have had tremendous success with international co-productions and look forward to expanding The Horror Section’s global footprint by tapping into the amazing talent all across Europe. Horror films appeal globally, and we look forward to scaring and thrilling audiences worldwide.”

He is a unique filmmaker who is finally creating his own universe, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it, along with my wonderful partners Tobias Rosen and Ralf Berchtold.”
