A new sci-fi horror project with an intentionally bizarre title is starting to attract serious attention in the genre world. Soon You Will Be Gone and Possibly Eaten has officially added Dave Franco to its cast alongside Sophie Wilde, continuing the momentum behind one of the more unusual horror films currently in development.
The movie centers on a couple heading into what’s supposed to be an intimate wedding getaway in the mountains. Instead, the celebration reportedly spirals into chaos when mysterious outsiders begin appearing around the remote location, turning the retreat into something far more dangerous and surreal.
What makes the project especially interesting is the creative team behind it. The film is being directed by Egor Abramenko, whose film Sputnik gained attention for mixing emotional tension with creature horror in a claustrophobic sci-fi setting. The screenplay comes from Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, writers who have quietly become major names in modern horror after working on The Night House and the recent Hellraiser reboot.
Sophie Wilde’s involvement also makes sense considering how quickly she has become one of horror’s rising stars after Talk to Me. Pairing her with Dave Franco gives the project a combination of indie credibility and broader mainstream appeal.
There’s also a strong psychological angle attached to the film. The story is based on work from horror writer Nick Antosca, known for creating unsettling narratives that often focus more on paranoia and emotional breakdown than straightforward action. That could mean the alien threat here ends up being just as psychologically disturbing as it is physical.
Visually, the movie appears to be aiming for something atmospheric rather than blockbuster-heavy spectacle. Early production details suggest the filmmakers are leaning into isolation, tension, and escalating dread instead of fast-paced destruction scenes.
The project is expected to enter production later this year and will reportedly be introduced to buyers during the Cannes market, where horror titles continue to play a surprisingly strong role in international sales.
Right now, Soon You Will Be Gone and Possibly Eaten feels like exactly the kind of weird, high-concept horror film that could either disappear quietly or become a major cult favorite. Considering the people involved, horror fans are already paying attention.
