Gary Dauberman’s Coin Operated Developing Horror Film ‘Human Remains’ Penned By Zachary Donohue

Gary Dauberman‘s Coin Operated has launched development on Human Remains, a new horror film from writer Zachary Donohue.

The film watches as a flight carrying the body of a priest who died during an exorcism experiences some unexpected turbulence. Dauberman will produce for Coin Operated alongside Mia Maniscalco, who serves as President of his company.

The project marks a reunion for Donohue and Coin Operated, who have only recently teamed on an untitled horror film directed by André Øvredal for Paramount. Produced by Walter Hamada (18hz) and Dauberman (Coin Operated), and starring Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, that title is currently in post-production.

The co-writer and director of 2013’s The Den, one of the first screenlife horror movies, which has since garnered a small cult following, Donohue is currently writing another untitled horror film for Hamada and his 18hz. He’s also behind the indie cosmic horror/mockumentary series The Unknowable, which is being turned into an eight-episode miniseries for Cineverse’s Screambox streaming platform.

The triple threat behind some of the biggest horror franchises of the past decade, including It, Annabelle and The Nun, Dauberman most recently teamed with Maniscalco to produce Until Dawn, a feature adaptation of hit PlayStation game directed by David Sandberg. Other project on the development slate of his Coin Operated include Urban Legend, a modern reboot of Screen Gems’ 1990s slasher with Shanrah Wakefield set to write the script, and Ushers, based on Joe Hill’s short story for Screen Gems, which Zak Olkewicz is adapting.
