Vent tells the story of a paranoid younger man who believes a kidnapping sufferer is tapping messages to him by his residence constructing air vent. This sounds precisely just like the type of paranoid thriller that must be within the wheelhouse of von Donnersmarck, who’s greatest recognized for writing and directing The Lives of Others, which gained the Academy Award for Finest International Language Movie (because it was then referred to as) on the 2007 ceremony.

Von Donnersmarck has a lean however numerous filmography, however he has confirmed himself a formidable filmmaker when he clicks.
Kosove and Johnson expressed their pleasure at collaborating with the director, in addition to author Steven Karczynski. In their very own phrases:
“The imaginative and prescient behind Vent is exclusive and thrilling, and between Steven Karczynski’s unbelievable writing, and Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s skill to carry such movies to life, we’re thrilled to be part of bringing this story to screens.”
There’s little or no to go on in the mean time; with the leanest of plot descriptions, no solid and crew bulletins, and never even a emblem or title therapy to assist us get a vibe of the challenge, it’s troublesome to gauge precisely what kind of psychological thriller Vent shall be. However contemplating von Donnersmarck’s expertise at directing a movie that type of falls into this identical bracket — The Lives of Others — we are able to anticipate the challenge to be in protected palms.
Kosove and Johnson will produce the movie. Karczynski and David Prior may even produce. Alcon’s upcoming tasks embody the horror characteristic Lullaby from director John R. Leonetti (Annabelle); and an animated movie adaptation of the beloved cartoon strip Garfield from director Mark Dindal (The Emperor’s New Groove).
