Paul Feig is set to direct the horror film “Detention” for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Platinum Dunes. Both outlets report the project is based on a spec script written by Daniel Gold. Deadline adds that the screenplay development credits include multiple producers and collaborators associated with the participating companies, listing Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller, Cameron Fuller, Feig, and Laura Fischer among those tied to the project’s creation.
The two reports align on the core production details: Feig will direct, the film is “Detention,” and it is being made through Blumhouse Atomic Monster alongside Platinum Dunes. While the articles emphasize different contextual framing—Deadline notes Feig’s recent success with “The Housemaid,” and Hollywood Reporter briefly connects the writer to another forthcoming project—neither source provides plot specifics or casting announcements. As of the information shared, the companies behind the film and the creative lead (Feig) and writer (Gold) are the primary confirmed elements.
