Gary Dauberman Signs With Blumhouse Atomic
Gary Dauberman, the writer behind It and the Annabelle movies, has signed a first-look producing deal with Blumhouse Atomic, the company run by Jason Blum and James Wan. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news.
The deal runs through Coin Operated, the production company Dauberman started in 2020, and kicks in next week.
Dauberman already has a long history with both men. He wrote Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation and The Nun for Wan’s Conjuring Universe, and made his directing debut with Annabelle Comes Home. He also produced The Curse of La Llorona, The Nun II and the upcoming Revenge of La Llorona. In June he was hired to write the third Five Nights at Freddy’s movie for Blumhouse Atomic and Universal.
“I’m thrilled to be working with these two powerhouses,” Dauberman said in a statement. He added that he was excited to reunite with Wan, who he called “such a strong supporter and huge influence on my work.”
Wan said Dauberman has been a close creative partner for more than a decade and “has an instinct for what makes horror work.”
Dauberman also wrote both It films for Warner Bros. His company is coming off a deal with Sony that produced the Until Dawn movie, which he wrote and produced.
