FilmNation has acquired feature film rights to The Cabin at the End of the World, a Harper Collins 2018 title from author Paul Tremblay, reports Deadline.
The psychological horror and suspense novel centers on a vacationing family terrorized by four strangers who claim to be either attempting to bring about or trying to avert the apocalypse.
World of Death alum Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman have been tapped by the studio to adapt the book. The screenwriting duo just sold their spec script, Harry’s All Night Hamburgers (based on the Hugo Award-winning short) to Warner Bros. in a bidding war last month.
Their previous screenplay, Orb, made the 2016 Black List as well as the top of the 2016 Blood List.
Tremblay’s previous book, A Head Full Of Ghosts, is at Focus Features with Robert Downey Jr.’s Team Downey shingle producing.
