Steven Spielberg to produce ‘The Mandela Catalogue’ film

The viral YouTube analog horror series ‘The Mandela Catalogue’ is set for a theatrical release on June 9, 2028. The film adaptation is a collaborative project between Amblin Entertainment, United Artists, and Amazon MGM Studios. Steven Spielberg will serve as a producer through his Amblin banner.

Original creator Alex Kister will direct the feature and is co-writing the screenplay with Tyler Clifton. The project follows the success of other internet-born horror properties like ‘Backrooms’ and ‘Obsession,’ which have recently seen significant box office returns.

Based on the series that has amassed over 100 million views, the story is set in the fictional Mandela County, Wisconsin. It follows the psychological torment inflicted by ‘Alternates,’ shape-shifting entities that use technology and psychological warfare to target victims.
