Clayface
Short description
Upcoming horror science fiction thriller Clayface follows Matt Hagen, a former street child who became a successful movie star. After a crime boss leaves him severely disfigured, Hagen undergoes an experimental treatment to restore his appearance. The procedure alters his perception of reality and transforms his physical form into a clay-like substance. This loss of identity and humanity drives him toward a destructive path of revenge.
The film is directed by James Watkins, following his previous work on Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, Bastille Day, and Speak No Evil. The screenplay was written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, with production handled by James Gunn, Peter Safran, and Matt Reeves.
