Bob Yaris Magenta Light Studios har förvärvat de nordamerikanska biovisningsrättigheterna till skräckthrillern Lice. Filmen är planerad att ha premiär under det första kvartalet 2027. Den markerar Jonathan Bensimons debut som regissör.

I filmen ser vi Emile Hirsch som den utbrända NO-läraren Mr. Shanker, Justin Long som rektor Van och Kevin Connolly som detektiv Sikorski. Den följer ett dödligt parasitutbrott på ett gymnasium på Long Island under 1980-talet som leder till en militär avspärrning och kaos bland kliande och desperata elever. Connolly fungerar även som producent tillsammans med Jeremy Alter via ActionPark Productions. Bob Yari och David Spiegelman från Magenta Light Studios är exekutiva producenter tillsammans med Eustace Montgomery Hicks. Highland Film Group hanterar den internationella försäljningen från Cannes.
