#FIRSTLOOK: ELEVATION PICTURES INK S DEAL WITH JOHN CARPENTER FOR UPCOMING ANTHOLOGY “JOHN CARPENTER PRESENTS”

Elevation Pictures has inked a deal with iconic filmmaker John Carpenter, the filmmaker behind hits like Halloween and The Thing, on a new horror anthology titled “John Carpenter Presents”. Created by Michael Amo (Pure, The Listener) and Will Pascoe (Orphan Black, Absentia), the new series will channel Carpenter’s signature storytelling, iconic visual style, and legendary musical sensibility.

Based on an original story by Amo and Pascoe, season one is set in the remote wilderness of Alaska, where a diverse group of characters face a chilling mix of supernatural and existential terror. “John Carpenter Presents” will explore the hidden fears and social anxieties of our time.

“We’re thrilled to launch into the television space with the master of horror, John Carpenter,” says Christina Piovesan of Elevation Pictures. “Will and Michael bring deep experience in writing and showrunning, and we can’t be more excited for this creative team to bring the series to audiences.”

Executive producers include Amo and Pascoe, Storm King Productions’ John Carpenter and Sandy King Carpenter and Elevation Pictures.

For Elevation, this marks a definitive expansion into television for the distribution and production powerhouse. The announcement follows the success of the production team’s recent documentary feature Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery, which premiered US and internationally on Hulu and Disney+ to a strong critical reception.
