Johannes Roberts Directing Horror Movie ‘Primate’ Starring Troy Kotsur

Academy Award winner Troy Kotsur (CODA) will lead the cast of the upcoming horror movie Primate, Deadline reports, with Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City) directing for Paramount Pictures.

Roberts co-wrote the screenplay with Ernest Riera, the website’s report notes.

Plot details for Primate, at this time, are unfortunately under wraps.

Walter Hamada is producing Primate, part of a new horror pact with Paramount.

Hamada, who recently left WB/DC, has a ton of horror cred from his time at New Line, producing countless horror movies including the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street remakes as well as The Conjuring and its various spinoffs and the 2017 adaptation of IT.

Via his production company 18hz Productions, Walter Hamada is slated to produce several mid-budget horror films for Paramount Pictures per year, for both theaters and streaming.
