Rogue Films, the genre arm of Focus Features, has tapped the domestic distribution rights to HIGH TENSION director Alexandre Ajas forthcoming supernatural horror flick, THE WAITING, VARIETY reports. Rogue purchased the film from Gold Circle Films and Craven/Maddalena Films. Mandate holds the international rights.
The film, which was written by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White, follows a young mother who believes she is being haunted by the spirit of her dead son. Aja will start his film next year after finishing up his remake of Wes Cravens horror classic THE HILLS HAVE EYES.
Gold Circle president Paul Brooks will produce with Marianne Maddalena. Gregory Levasseur, Wes Craven and Gold Circle's Norm Waitt and Scott Niemeyer are exec producing. Alix Taylor will co-produce alongside Zak Kadison and Wendy Rhoads.
