After capturing horror fans' attention with Good Boy, director Ben Leonberg is ready to return behind the camera for a new spine-tingling project: Look Out, a film adaptation of the eponymous horror novella published in 2025.
The film will be produced for Republic Pictures with Leonberg handling both directing and screenwriting duties alongside Alex Cannon, his collaborator on Good Boy. The original story, written by Dan Baillie and illustrated by Tim Bradstreet, follows Oscar, a man who, after a divorce, takes a job as a fire lookout at a remote station deep in the woods. There he discovers a mysterious sheet containing a set of rules he must follow to survive during his watch shifts. What initially seems like a prank gradually transforms into something far more sinister.
The production involves Roy Lee and Andrew Childs from Vertigo Entertainment and Zach Studin from AWA. Neither a cast nor a release date has been announced yet. Having experimented with an unconventional narrative perspective in Good Boy—telling horror through a dog's eyes—Leonberg appears intent on exploring fear once again through claustrophobic circumstances and extreme isolation. Look Out could thus turn a simple night of surveillance into an inescapable nightmare.
