Maggie Grace and Steve Howey to Star in Fiona as Filming Begins in Toronto

Producers are turning creator Soren Narnia’s Knifepoint Horror into a planned theatrical franchise with Aura releasing Fiona in theaters before it streams on MGM+.

Overview

  • Production companies Capstone Studios and Peak Pictures announced that principal photography for Fiona will begin in Toronto on May 28, 2026.
  • Maggie Grace and Steve Howey are cast in the leads with Nicholas McCarthy directing from a screenplay by Justin Yoffe and Evan Hart.
  • The film adapts a Knifepoint Horror story by Soren Narnia about a doctor who falls for a mysterious woman channeling elemental forces, a premise framed as environmental and apocalyptic horror.
  • Capstone and Peak say the project will open in North American theaters via Aura Entertainment before moving to MGM+ for streaming, part of a planned theatrical-then-streaming rollout.
  • Fiona is the second feature drawn from the decade‑old Knifepoint Horror podcast, which has a devoted audience and is being leveraged to build low-budget genre films that aim for broad theatrical and streaming reach.
