Irish filmmaker Lee Cronin, known for his work on Evil Dead Rise, has teamed up with John Keville and Macdara Kelleher of Wild Atlantic Pictures to establish Doppelgängers, a production company focusing on genre content. The company has kicked off with a bang by securing a first-look deal with New Line Cinema for its upcoming feature film projects.
New Line Cinema, the studio behind Evil Dead Rise, which grossed $147 million globally after premiering at SXSW, is collaborating with Cronin on a horror-thriller titled Thaw. Doppelgängers will concentrate on developing genre-centric feature films and television shows for Cronin to both write and direct, with Keville and Kelleher serving as producers.
