Saban Films has acquired North American rights to Darren Lynn Bousman’s Death of Me, the horror director’s latest pic that stars Maggie Q and Luke Hemsworth. It is planning a 2020 theatrical release.

The pic, penned by Ari Margolis & James Morley III and David Tish, centers on a couple on an exotic holiday who awaken one morning with a hangover and no recollection of what transpired. When playing back the video of their previous night, they learn they participated in a ritual that somehow ended with the husband murdering the wife — though she’s actually very much alive.
