Remember how HBO's Watchmen turned out to be a massive hit and even critically acclaimed? Now, the director of the show Stephen Williams has boarded an original horror film from Universal Pictures, Don't Go In The Water.

Peter Gaffney wrote the script, most of which is being kept tightly under wraps. The film is described as a suspenseful monster movie.

Shawn Levy and Dan Levine will produce “Don’t Go in the Water” for 21 Laps Entertainment, alongside Adam Kolbrenner for Lit Entertainment Group. Adam Rodin is executive producing. Universal’s executive VP of Production Matt Reilly and director of development Lexi Barta will oversee the project on behalf of the studio.

Though productions across town have been shutdown indefinitely, studios are still working on adding projects to their development slates, especially when it comes to setting writers and directors to developing IP. Gaffney is currently developing several scripts including Harvest and Terrestrial. Levy and Kolbrenner recently produced the 20th Century pic Free Guy, which Levy directed and stars Ryan Reynolds.
