AceShowbiz - Noah Hawley, the Emmy-winning creator behind FX's acclaimed series Fargo and Alien: Earth, is set to direct and produce a remake of the supernatural horror film Terrified. This project will be developed for Warner Bros., as confirmed by Deadline.

Originally released in 2017, Terrified (Aterrados) is an Argentinian horror film directed by Demián Rugna. The story centers on a group of paranormal investigators exploring a series of unexplainable and terrifying phenomena in a Buenos Aires neighborhood, where they encounter a sinister force that defies all logic.

Hawley is collaborating closely with Rugna on this remake. The filmmaker behind the original, also known for the IFC/Shudder title When Evil Lurks, will work alongside Hawley as the latter produces the film under his Austin-based production company, 26 Keys.

Hawley has earned widespread recognition for his work on Fargo, the FX anthology series inspired by the Coen Brothers’ film. The show has garnered seven Emmy wins from 70 nominations across five seasons. More recently, he created, wrote, and showran Alien: Earth, a series expanding the Alien universe, which debuted its first season on Hulu and FX last August and is confirmed for a second season.

In addition to his television achievements, Hawley directed the 2019 feature Lucy in the Sky, released by Fox Searchlight. He is also a published author with six novels to his name: A Conspiracy of Tall Men, Other People's Weddings, The Punch, The Good Father, Before the Fall, and Anthem.

This announcement marks the first report of Hawley’s involvement with the Terrified remake, with The Hollywood Reporter initially breaking the news prior to Deadline’s confirmation.
