TWC-Dimension announced today that they have acquired worldwide rights to Intrepid Pictures’ supernatural thriller The Bye Bye Man, with a proceed-to-production commitment, Bloody Disgusting is told.
The script was adapted by Jonathan Penner (Let the Devil Wear Black), from the short story “The Bridge to Body Island,” by Robert Damon Schneck, which chronicles the harrowing events experienced by three Wisconsin college students in the early 1990s.
Stacy Title (Hood of Horror) will direct.
Details are being kept under wraps but Matthew Signer, EVP of Production and Creative Affairs for TWC-Dimension, reveals the film will have a new horror icon: “There are only a few truly scary and iconic characters within this genre and we think the Bye Bye Man has the potential to be the next one.”
