A piece of crap calling themselves “The Watcher” is scaring the shit out of a family, so much so that they’ve been forced to move out of their newly acquired house.
Yet, Hollywood and filmmakers are already hoping to capitalize on their pain and suffering.
According to this Tracking Board there’s a mad scramble to be the first out of the gate, with several packages being shopped all over town including names like James Wan (Insidious, Saw, The Conjuring) and Bryan Bertino (Mockingbird, The Strangers) in the mix.
Sources confirm to the site that interest is swelling and the project is taking shape at the likes of Blumhouse Productions, Dimension Films, New Line Cinema, and Universal. Several different takes on the true terror tale are being pitched across the board, some unofficially, with rights still up in the air.
The true story, which we wrote about last week, reported on a family and their three young kids who moved after an anonymous stalker – who referred to himself as “The Watcher” – sent terrifying letters about the new house they moved into.
