According to Deadline, Spielberg will produce the film for Amazon MGM. Series creator Alex Kister, who is 22 years old, will direct the film. Although specific plot details for the film are under wraps, The Mandela Catalogue YouTube series tells the story of demonic doppelgangers that use deception to coerce victims into killing themselves. The series utilizes the "analog horror" subgenre, as the story is told primarily through VHS tapes and other distorted recordings.
