Fan CastingVALLEY OF THE LOST (2031)

Dr. Evelyn Armitage, a brilliant but emotionally withdrawn archaeologist, is leading a dig at a remote site deep in the Carpathian Mountains. The locals whisper of "The Hollow," a cursed valley where time bends and those who enter lose their minds. Evelyn dismisses the warnings until she uncovers a strange, obsidian artifact resembling a fractured mirror. When she touches the relic, she begins to experience vivid visions of a woman who looks like her but is dressed in ancient ceremonial garb. At first, she assumes the visions are dreams—hallucinations brought on by exhaustion. But the visions grow more intense, revealing horrifying scenes of blood sacrifices, betrayals, and a malevolent entity called "The Warden," a shadowy figure with burning, hollow eyes that seems to be stalking her. As the dig progresses, Evelyn's team begins to unravel—team members succumb to paranoia, bizarre accidents occur, and time itself seems to fracture, with the same events repeating or occurring in reverse. Desperate for answers, Evelyn consults an elderly villager, who reveals that her family has ties to The Hollow, descendants of a cursed bloodline bound to the entity. Evelyn must unravel the mystery of her connection to The Warden, navigating haunting visions of her ancestors while fighting to keep her sanity. As the relic's power grows, she realizes that The Warden feeds on guilt and suffering, and it’s been manipulating her family for centuries.
