The vampire novel by Justin Cronin
The screen adaptation of Justin Cronin’s “The Passage” will be scripted by Jason Keller.
Keller is developing the film with attached director Matt Reeves (Let Me In) and producer Ridley Scott. John Logan took a crack at the material as well, but it looks like Keller will be starting over.
Keller’s credits include the upcoming Machine Gun Preacher and a Snow White film in the works at Relativity.
Random House Publishing describes “The Passage” like this: An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amyâabandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girlâand risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escapeâbut he canât stop societyâs collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.
