This year’s Euro “It” horror helmer is being thrown Hollywood projects left, right and center. After the news that Pascal Laugier is attached to be the successor behind the pinhead franchise re-birth (read here), the filmmaker behind the macabre Martyrs (one of the most unpleasant film experiences I’ve had in 2008) might actually be directing a horror thriller project for Paramount Vantage and prod house Blumhouse.
Optioned by P-Vantage in October of 2006, the house originally set Dan Kay to write the script, but Laugier has done a rewrite based on a short story by British fantasy writer China Mieville. Details revolves around a girl who disappears after having uncovered a demonic force that only she can see and her father, who stops at nothing to bring her back.
