A supernatural yarn set up at Paramount Vantage
Martyrs‘ Pascal Laugier is hitting Hollywood hard this season. The French helmer is attached to Dimension Films’ upcoming Hellraiser remake and he has now signed with Paramount Vantage to write and direct Details.
Blumhouse Productions (Jason Blum, Steven Schneider) and Ian Levy are producing this adaptation of China Mieville’s short story about a young girl “who disappears after awakening supernatural forces that inhabit the random patterns of everyday objects.”
Laugier is taking over on writing duties after Dan Kay penned an initial adaptation.
Paramount Vantage recently made headlines when it committed to remaking Lake Mungo with Vertigo Entertainment. Word through the grapevine is that this specialty division of Paramount is being groomed to become a genre house.
