Paramount and Platinum Dunes Team on ‘The Follower’, Which Uses Tech to Stalk a Babysitter

Horror

Paramount Pictures has picked up the rights to Jonathan Behr‘s short film, The Follower, and the accompanying pitch by screenwriter Aaron W. Sala, writes THR.

Behr’s short film tells the story of a young babysitter who is being mysteriously followed through her various devices. Part of the creepy story is told via the devices. The feature version will have the same set-up but focus on the young woman’s attempt to turn the table on her would-be stalker, adds the site.

Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, who produced horror hit A Quiet Place, The Purge, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and several other horror properties with Michael Bay, are producing via their label, Fully Formed, which has a first-look deal at the studio.

Here’s a trailer for Behr’s short film, which is similar to several other tech films in the past few years from Keep Watching to Unfriended Dark Web.
