Ethan Hawke is set to reunite with Sinister director Scott Derrickson for the new horror movie The Black Phone. The film is an adaptation of the Joe Hill story of the same title.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hawke will take on a villainous role as a man who kidnaps and imprisons a kid in a soundproof basement. Mason Thames (For All Mankind) plays the boy, while Jeremy Davis (Saving Private Ryan) plays his dad. The phone of the title is an old disconnected telephone in the room that rings with the voices of the dead at night.

The Black Phone is produced by Blumhouse Films, who also produced Sinister, as well as movies such as Get Out, The Purge, and the 2018 Halloween reboot. The film is written by Derrickson and his regular co-writer C. Robert Cargill. The pair also collaborated on Derrickson's Marvel hit Doctor Strange. Hawke has previously appeared in several Blumhouse movies, including The Purge and the western In a Valley of Violence.
