He's had great success producing other filmmakers' work, especially with the likes of David F. Sandberg's short-to-movie conversion Lights Out. James Wan is looking to repeat the winning move, picking up the rights with New Line to Dutch horror short Sweet Tooth.

Fellow producer Chris Bender is also aboard the latest effort, helping to usher Dutch director Nico van den Brink into Hollywood filmmaker status. Van den Brink will work with a writer to turn his short into a feature film, adapting the story of a woman who comes home to her apartment to discover that her neighbours, a mother and two kids, have been killed. She's horrified, but that also turns into terrified when she hears the laughter and movement of the children.

The director has worked on a variety of short films and ads, but will make his full-length debut with the movie, which New Line will release. Wan, meanwhile, is currently busy on Aquaman, aiming for a 5 October 2018 release date.
