SpectreVision, the production company of Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Inglee, has teamed with Norwegian filmmaker Patrik Syversen on Dawning, Deadline reports today.

The genre-bender is described as a “Scandinavian prestige drama filtered through a horror prism.”

Dawning follows “three sisters who have withdrawn to their family’s vacation home in the wake of the youngest sister’s second suicide attempt. When news reaches them that their abusive mother has passed, the two elder sisters decide not to tell the youngest to spare her the burden. Things begin to unravel when a mysterious man shows up on the property, shifting the siblings’ perspective from one of introspection and analysis to something a lot more primal.”

Starring in Dawning are Kathrine Thorborg Johansen (Power Play), Marte Magnusdotter Solem (Lovable), Thorbjørn Harr, and Steinar Klouman Hallert (Sick of Myself).

In a statement on their new project, the SpectreVision partners told Deadline, “We were completely knocked-out by Dawning. The film shows a masterful command of its material, creating a fearless tone that is entirely its own. Bold. Riveting. Poignant. Terrifying. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work together on Dawning, and can’t wait to see what comes next from this team! Patrik enters the next phase of his career as a major new voice in international cinema.”

Said Syversen, “It’s an absolute honor to team up with SpectreVision. Their sensibility, love for cinema and quest for the subversive and idiosyncratic makes them a perfect fit for Dawning, a deeply personal film that in many ways feels like a new beginning for me as a filmmaker. I can’t think of a better company to start that journey with.”

Wood, Noah, and Inglee executive produced, with Syversen and cinematographer Andreas Johannessen (Rabbit Trap) producing.

SpectreVision is behind genre hits Mandy, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Daniel Isn’t Real, The Greasy Strangler, and more.

Dawning recently wrapped production, so stay tuned for more as we learn it.

With Jurassic World Rebirth in theaters now, its soundtrack is coming to vinyl from Mutant.

Composed by Academy Award winner Alexandre Desplat (The Shape of Water, Godzilla), the score is pressed on 2xLP colored vinyl.

“Continuing in the legacy of composers like John Williams, Don Davis, and Michael Giacchino, Alexandre Desplat brings the action-packed Jurassic World: Rebirth to life with equal parts bombast and tenderness,” says Mutant co-founder Mo Shafeek. “Beautiful piano melodies give reprieve from thundering percussion in this beautiful and essential addition to the Jurassic franchise.”

Due out on October 3, the album costs $40. A double-CD version, priced at $20, will be available the same day.

The seventh installment in the dinosaur franchise is directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Godzilla) and written by David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible).

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein star.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Jurassic World Rebirth takes a step in the right direction, but the previous trilogy backed this franchise so thoroughly into a corner that it may be time to let this series go extinct.”

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners will make its streaming debut on HBO Max this coming Friday, July 4, and we’ve learned this week that Max will also be streaming the Black American Sign Language (BASL) version of Sinners alongside the original version of the film in the U.S.

Max notes in an official press release, “This groundbreaking release marks the first time a streaming platform will exclusively debut a film interpreted in BASL.”

“The release of Sinners with BASL is a major step forward in accessibility, representation, and visibility in streaming,” Max explains. “BASL is a distinct dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) with its own dynamic history and unique grammar, signing space, rhythm, facial expressions, and cultural nuances. For the first time, the Black Deaf community will have streaming access to a more immersive experience in their language. Max subscribers, who sign in ASL but are unfamiliar with this dialect, will also be able to follow along with this interpretation.

“Sinners with BASL is interpreted by Nakia Smith, an influential voice in the Black Deaf community, who delivers a powerful interpretation with cultural depth and linguistic richness that aligns with the film’s themes and historical timeline. Rosa Lee Timm, Director of Artistic Sign Language, is a renowned performance artist and uses her expertise in sign language performance and visual storytelling to ensure cultural authenticity.”

“Accessibility within streaming is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our goal at Max is to make these great stories accessible to all audiences in a way that is authentic to the content and the communities we serve,” said Naomi Waibel, SVP of Global Product Management at Warner Bros. Discovery. “Sinners with Black American Sign Language is an example of how culturally nuanced access can enrich the viewing experience for our audiences.”

“With ASL” titles, including Sinners, will be displayed on the Max app and indicated with key art featuring the sign language symbol. Look for both versions of the film on the 4th of July.

Written and directed by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed), the critically acclaimed vampire horror film stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack.

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, they return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
