The upcoming film is “set in a dystopian America in the near future, the high-concept film follows five 16-year-old orphans who wake up to find themselves in a strange building with no walls, no ceiling, and no floor: nothing but endless flights of stairs leading in every direction, seemingly infinite. To find an exit, the five teenagers must learn to deal with the others’ disparate personalities, the lack of privacy and comfort, their clear helplessness, and a machine that only feeds them under increasingly ominous situations.”

House of Stairs is slated to start filming in Canada later this year, with Wi Ding Ho directing and a script by Matthew McInerney-Lacombe.

This is just one of many upcoming projects for Jacob, which also includes The Little Mermaid (check out his character poster!), the Toxic Avenger reboot, and the horror pic Queen of Bones.
