‘Dawning’ – SpectreVision Teams with Filmmaker Patrik Syversen on Genre-Bender

SpectreVision, the production company of Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Inglee, has teamed with Norwegian filmmaker Patrik Syversen on Dawning, Deadline reports today.

The genre-bender is described as a “Scandinavian prestige drama filtered through a horror prism.”

Dawning follows “three sisters who have withdrawn to their family’s vacation home in the wake of the youngest sister’s second suicide attempt. When news reaches them that their abusive mother has passed, the two elder sisters decide not to tell the youngest to spare her the burden. Things begin to unravel when a mysterious man shows up on the property, shifting the siblings’ perspective from one of introspection and analysis to something a lot more primal.”

Starring in Dawning are Kathrine Thorborg Johansen (Power Play), Marte Magnusdotter Solem (Lovable), Thorbjørn Harr, and Steinar Klouman Hallert (Sick of Myself).

In a statement on their new project, the SpectreVision partners told Deadline, “We were completely knocked-out by Dawning. The film shows a masterful command of its material, creating a fearless tone that is entirely its own. Bold. Riveting. Poignant. Terrifying. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work together on Dawning, and can’t wait to see what comes next from this team! Patrik enters the next phase of his career as a major new voice in international cinema.”

Said Syversen, “It’s an absolute honor to team up with SpectreVision. Their sensibility, love for cinema and quest for the subversive and idiosyncratic makes them a perfect fit for Dawning, a deeply personal film that in many ways feels like a new beginning for me as a filmmaker. I can’t think of a better company to start that journey with.”

Wood, Noah, and Inglee executive produced, with Syversen and cinematographer Andreas Johannessen (Rabbit Trap) producing.

SpectreVision is behind genre hits Mandy, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Daniel Isn’t Real, The Greasy Strangler, and more.

Dawning recently wrapped production, so stay tuned for more as we learn it.
