The synopsis for Fantasy Island teases a murder mystery challenge which reads as follows: “The Enigmatic Mr. Roarke (played by Michael Peña) makes the secret dreams of his lucky guests come true at a luxurious but remote tropical resort.
But when the fantasies turn into nightmares, the guests have to solve the island’s mystery in order to escape with their lives.”
The island drama dealt with dark themes and the supernatural with a little bit of cheesiness as visitors would come to the island to live out their fantasies.
Ryan Turek will be overseeing the project for Blumhouse and Matt Milan overseeing for Sony.
