‘Fall’ Director Scott Mann Signs With WME
EXCLUSIVE: WME has signed Scott Mann, who directed the thriller Fall. That film was released by Lionsgate, grossing $16 million on a $3 million budget.
The survival tale is about two adventurous women, one of whom lost her husband in a climbing accident. The friend of the widow tries to pull her pal out of a spiral by challenging themselves to climb an abandoned 2000-foot-high TV tower. Everything goes wrong, the climbers are too high to get a rescue cell signal, and an adventure turns into a terrifying fight for survival. Mann wrote the script with Jonathan Frank.

The film is currently streaming on Apple TV+, and here is how Stephen King described it: “Reminded me a bit of Steven Spielberg’s Duel. Wish I’d written it.”
Mann had been repped by CAA, and now WME will steer him as he looks for his next film to direct.
