Goodnight Mommy filmmakers Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz provided many viewers with an unsettling cinematic experience in 2015, and now the duo is looking to team up with a big studio in Hollywood for their next horror film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal is in "final negotiations" to move forward with The Fortress, a new film being developed by Fiala and Franz, who will write and direct the movie. Lined up to produce the project is Michael De Luca, with Lucy Kitada of De Luca Productions is set to executive produce.
While Goodnight Mommy centered on a small family in a secluded house on the lake, The Fortress will follow "a group of refugees hidden aboard a container ship who discover their passage to safety is not what it seems."
Further plot information and casting details are unknown at this time, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on future announcements. Are you looking forward to seeing the next film from Fiala and Franz?

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
