Roth is clearly excited about the project, stating: “Very rarely do you get a script that grabs you by the throat, holds you until the last page and gives you nightmares after.”
He went on to proclaim 10-31 as one of the scariest premises for a horror film that he has ever read. “We are very excited to make this film with Orion, who we have a long relationship with, and who understands what it takes to make a no holds barred scary movie.”
