Setting up a new film project at Universal Pictures, renowned Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is about to make a thriller entitled "Haters" based on a book of the same name by David Moody, JoBlo.com has informed.

"Society is rocked by a sudden increase in the number of violent assaults on individuals," the site described the story. "Christened 'Haters' by the media, the attackers strike without warning. Their attacks are brutal, remorseless and extreme."

"There are no apparent links between the Haters or their victims and no obvious reason for their violence. In seconds rational, controlled people become vicious killers. Everyone - irrespective of race, gender, age, sexuality or any other imaginable difference - has the potential to become either a Hater or a victim."

Further details on the project have not yet been unveiled, so stay tuned to AceShowbiz.com for more info about the cast lineup, writer, and producers.
