The Film DEVON Explores Every Parent's
Worst Nightmare
LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- No good deed
goes unpunished in DEVON, the latest acquisition from
distributor and streaming innovator Cineverse (NASDAQ:
CNVS). When a group of friends try to uncover the truth behind an
unsolved disappearance, they unwittingly find themselves at the
center of a terrifying mystery. The film which will premiere
exclusively on the Company's streaming service SCREAMBOX is the
highly anticipated first feature of Jersey Shore alum Jenni "JWOWW"
Farley. DEVON will premiere on SCREAMBOX on November 11, 2024.
Following their daughter's mysterious disappearance, Devon's
parents never stopped searching for the truth. After the asylum she
disappeared from was condemned, their questions looked like they
would remain forever unanswered. Years later, a cryptic website
recruits five courageous individuals to explore the abandoned
asylum and discover what happened to the girl. Unaware that they
are embarking on a perilous, one-way journey, these individuals
delve into the sinister depths with only their equipment, leading
to a terrifying and deadly experience.
A longtime admirer of the genre, Farley takes viewers into a
found footage mystery which draws from the real-life horrors of the
unknown. And the debut director knows all about real, with
the next season of the MTV sensation "Jersey Shore: Family
Vacation" premiering later this year.
"I am thrilled to be diving into the horror space alongside
Cineverse and SCREAMBOX who have the industry and fandom knowledge
to see that DEVON lands in the hands of the right audience." said
DEVON director Jenni "JWOWW" Farley. "As a longtime reality
TV veteran, I'm excited to kick off this new chapter in the horror
movie genre and hope that DEVON is just the beginning."
The North American rights were negotiated by Brandon Hill, Executive Director of
Acquisitions, and Jenni "JWOWW" Farley.
