British actor Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place, Honey Boy) is set to star in Play Dead, the new survival thriller from Carry-On‘s Jaume Collet-Serra that was revealed back in February. No details have yet emerged about Jupe’s character or the film’s plot, though it’s been described by sources close to Deadline as Don’t Breathe meets 1917.
Production begins in Melbourne, Australia in May. The project is one of two recently announced for Collet-Serra, who earlier this month was linked to An Innocent Girl, a psychological thriller to be produced for Netflix by Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter.

Akiva Nemetsky and Keaton Heinrichs are producing for Nocturnal, along with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert for Ghost House, JD Lifshitz and Raphael Margules for BoulderLight, and Dane Eckerle for Bad Grey.
