Paramount’s Republic Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to the horror thriller The Monster, a film that promises chills and an all-star cast. Starring Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place: Day One), Lauren LaVera (Terrifier), and Mia Healey (The Wilds), the movie is currently in production in Danbury, Connecticut.

Djimon Hounsou has been a fixture in Hollywood for 33 years, earning two Academy Award nominations for his performances in "In America" and "Blood Diamond" among many other notable roles. Despite his success, Hounsou recently told The Guardian that he still feels "tremendously cheated" when it comes to pay in the industry.
