Quinn said he is “beyond excited” and “passionate about the project both creatively and personally” due to his close connection with the team behind it.
Adding: "I can't wait to bring this brilliant, bat sh*t script to life".
Leroy-Salta, who will co-write and direct with Tol, described as “a pure unadulterated, unflinching horror movie. It’s bold and nightmarish in its vision”.
“We’re using the genre to explore the psychological toll of abuse, the invisible wounds, and how the past can eat us — in this case literally”.
According to a press release, it will “use horror as a lens to confront the complexities of emotional manipulation, trauma, and power dynamics in relationships. Through a tense and atmospheric narrative, the story draws viewers into a world where the line between psychological fear and physical danger blurs — echoing real-life experiences for many.
Speaking about his involvment, Quinn said: "I can't wait to bring this brilliant, bat sh*t script to life".
Tol added: “This project will be a special experience, reconnecting as artists a decade further down the line to make the type of film we always knew we wanted to make”.
Tidbit is being produced by Safe Hands Productions with filming scheduled to take place in the capital in 2026.
