Duncan Samarasinghe

SCREENWRITER

BIO:

Duncan’s breakthrough screenplay, THE CARETAKER, was a finalist in The Academy’s Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting.

An avid lover of creating high-concept genre films, he has since sold multiple projects to major studios, including THE CARETAKER to Sony Screen Gems, UNHOLY to Dimension Films, NEMESES to 20th Century Fox and WITCH/HUNT to Fox 21.

Currently, Duncan has his vampire screenplay RUBI DIES TONIGHT setup with 20th Century Studios/Hulu, and is devising a series of grisly murders as he pens WOLF CREEK: LEGACY, the latest installment of the hit horror franchise, having previously worked on a reboot of OPEN WATER for Lionsgate.
