Fox Atomic has hired video game writer JT Petty (The Burrowers) to write and direct Goth, which is based on a best-selling Japanese novel.
Described as a gothic love story, the project revolves around two high school teens from opposite sides of the tracks who are forced to come together to take down a serial killer in their hometown.
Kadokawa, which published the original novel and manga comic, will serve as executive producer on the film.
