EXCLUSIVE: Lionsgate is in final negotiations to acquire worldwide rights to Imaginary — a new Blumhouse thriller to be directed by Jeff Wadlow (The Curse of Bridge Hollow). The studios will co-finance the project, with Lionsgate to present it to buyers at the 2023 European Market. Pic is just the second to team the companies following the Blum-produced Sinister for Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate released in 2012. In Imaginary, a young woman returns to her childhood home only to discover that the imaginary friend she left behind is very real and very unhappy she left. Sources tell us that the plan is for the project, currently being cast, to go into production this spring. Wadlow, Greg Erb, Jason Oremland, and Bryce McGuire wrote the script. Producers are Blumhouse's Jason Blum and Wadlow.
