Deadline reports Mike Newell will helm the adaptation. Ghost House boarded the property in 2010. With a director attached, it looks like this project will garner some steam.
Luthor‘s Neil Cross penned the script.
The Day of the Triffids has been adapted a few times, telling the story of a race of plants that rise up to destroy mankind.
Newell’s credits include Great Expectations, Donnie Brasco and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
