Concord Originals Develops Gothic Horror Film 'Wolf at the Door'
A new supernatural horror film is moving into development, and its story starts on a stage. Concord Originals, the film and TV arm of the music company BMG, is working on a gothic feature called Wolf at the Door, Variety reported on 10 November 2026.
The film is based on a play of the same name from Concord Theatricals, and the screen version was written by the playwright, Marisela Treviño Orta. Her play is part of a trilogy drawing on Latinx mythology and the fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm. The story is set in 19th-century New Mexico. It follows a young woman close to childbirth who foretells the return of a creature that is half man and half wolf.
Agustina San Martín will direct. She made the psychological horror feature Psyche, starring Noah Jupe and Isabela Merced. Casting was under way at the time of reporting, so no lead actors had been announced.
Concord Originals executives Sophia Dilley and Charles Hopkins are producing. Quíle Miguel Gomez, Victor Zaraya and Bob Valentine are executive producers. Valentine is also chief executive of BMG.
BMG completed its combination with Concord in 2026, and the merged company now trades under the BMG name. It is headquartered in Nashville, has 18 offices around the world, and was founded in 2008. The company is privately held and part of the German media group Bertelsmann. Affiliates of the investment firm Great Mountain Partners own a minority stake. The business brings together music publishing, recorded music, theatrical rights and digital distribution, so a stage play can now move into film under one roof.
That mix is the reason a project like this can start from a play. Concord Theatricals handles stage rights, and Concord Originals can take a title from the theatre into film or television. Development is the early stage, when a studio pays for scripts and sets up a project before any filming is financed or scheduled. Many projects never go further. This one has a director, a writer and a producing team attached, which is a solid start, but no release date or distributor has been announced.
For the people behind it, the next steps are concrete: casting the lead role, finding the financing, and getting a shooting schedule. Those are the moments when a project becomes a set, with a crew, a location and a date. Until then, the film is a script, a stage hit's worth of material, and a director who has made a horror film before.
