MUMBAI: Fresh off the release of his Paul Walker thriller Vehicle 19, South African writer-director Mukunda Michael Dewil has been signed on to helm Wet House for Zero Gravity Entertainment.

The elevated psychological thriller from scribe Jack Reher is about a psychologist who becomes entangled with the mysterious resident of a wet house, whose apparent psychic abilities help her aid the police in solving a string of grizzly, bath salt-fueled massacres.

"I like the idea that everything is layered with this atmosphere of unnamed trepidation - nothing can be trusted at face value and that kind of foreboding really gives me a lot to work with when creating the world of this story," Dewil said.

The film will shoot this fall in South Africa as the first of three features Zero Gravity plans to shoot there.
