Netflix is going all in on It’s What’s Inside. The streaming service has acquired the horror thriller out of Sundance, three days after the project debuted as part of the fest’s horror-centric Midnight Section.
The feature hails from writer director Greg Jardin, and centers on a pre-wedding party that becomes a nightmare when an estranged friend shows up with a mysterious suitcase.
“I’ve been pitching it as a sci-fi thriller, with jokes,” Jardin told The Hollywood Reporter earlier in the fest.
Rights went for a reported $17 million, which would make it the highest sale of the Park City, Utah-based festival so far this year. Over the weekend, Searchlight Pictures made a $10 million deal to acquire the Jesse Eisenberg-directed feature A Real Pain, which stars the actor-filmmaker alongside Kieran Culkin.
