According to Games Radar, director Ari Aster (“Hereditary”, “Midsommar”) is working on a new horror film A24.

For those unfamiliar with him, Jackson has already won several awards and critically acclaimed Broadway plays and is considered one of “Today’s Most Talented Black Screenwriters” by The New York Times.

In addition to being responsible for the acclaimed play “A Strange Loop”, Jackson is working on a new musical, called “White Girl in Danger”, whose plot is inspired by classic soap operas and movies of the 90s.

As of yet, there are still no details on the new horror partnered with Aster, as production is still in its early stages.
