French director Jacques Audiard, following his Oscar nomination for “Emilia Pérez,” is partnering with Netflix again for a new horror project. The streaming service has secured the rights to adapt Jean-Baptiste Del Amo’s critically acclaimed novel, "La Nuit ravagée," and commissioned Audiard to develop it into a film.
The collaboration comes after Audiard's "Emilia Pérez" received a best picture nomination at last year’s Oscars. Netflix is hoping to capitalize on the director’s recent success by backing his venture into the horror genre. The project will be an “elevated horror” film, suggesting a focus on artistic merit and thematic depth rather than solely relying on jump scares or gore.
The source material for the film is Jean-Baptiste Del Amo's novel "La Nuit ravagée," which has garnered critical praise. Netflix optioned the rights to the book specifically to allow Audiard to develop it, indicating a strong creative partnership and trust in his vision.
