Across the Hall helmer Alex Merkin is poised to direct House of Bodies, an independent thriller starring Queen Latifah, Terrence Howard and Peter Fonda. Shooting is taking place in Florida and is based on a script by Eddie Harris. Head inside for the plot details.
According to Variety, the “story follows Kyle, a deaf child who enjoys chatting online with Nicole (Latifah), a relay operator at a telephone service for the hearing-impaired. Kyle’s fascination with the macabre leads him to explore the House of Bodies, a voyeur website based out of the former home of serial killer Henry Lee Bishop (Fonda), now on death row. When police discover a string of grisly copycat murders, a detective (Howard) must race to uncover the mystery.”
Merkin’s previous effort, Across the Hall, starred Brittany Murphy.
