Divide/Conquer Strikes First-Look Deal With Blumhouse–Atomic Monster, Sets Doomtown as Debut Project

James Wan will produce the Chris Thomas Devlin survival-horror script, with plot and directing plans still under wraps.

Overview

  • Divide/Conquer signed a first-look pact that gives Blumhouse–Atomic Monster priority on projects the company develops.
  • Doomtown is the first title in the pipeline, written by Chris Thomas Devlin, whose credits include Cobweb and 2022’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
  • Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath will produce, with Michael Clear, Ingrid Bisu, and Judson Scott as executive producers and Alayna Glasthal overseeing for Atomic Monster.
  • Reporting says Wan showed strong interest in directing, though sources close to him deny a directing commitment, and he is currently attached as a producer.
  • The deal extends a longstanding collaboration following the 2024 Blumhouse–Atomic Monster merger, with other projects like Anything But Ghosts already in the works.
