Vera Farmiga Set to Star in Supernatural Horror 'Inferno'

Vera Farmiga is set to star in and executive produce Inferno, a supernatural horror film, according to Variety.

Bryan Hill wrote and directs the film. Farmiga plays a former detective whose hunt for a killer pulls her back into Scotland Yard's "Black Branch," the London force's occult division, which deals with cases involving the supernatural.

Three production companies are backing the project. Ara Keshishian is producing, alongside Petr Jákl's ZQ Entertainment and Adrian Askarieh's Prime Universe Films. Production is due to start in late spring.

Selling the film is already underway. Manifest Pictures is handling international sales, the business of licensing a film to distributors in countries outside its home market. The company will present Inferno to buyers at the American Film Market, the industry gathering where distributors and sales agents do much of their deal-making.

Domestic rights, meaning the right to release the film in the United States and Canada, are being co-represented by CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group. Both are talent and media agencies that help place projects with buyers.

Farmiga is best known to many audiences for the horror franchise The Conjuring, which she led across five features. The run ended with 2025's Last Rites, and Inferno marks her next horror project following that series.

No distributor for the film's domestic release has been named, and no release date has been set.
