Netflix has announced that it will adapt Sarah Pinborough’s thriller novel 13 Minutes, a story that sounds like it’s taken inspiration from Pi and The Number 23, according to Variety. The novel received high praise from Stephen King.
In the book, which came out earlier this year, “…a young, popular high school student named Natasha is found in a freezing river, supposedly having drowned and been dead for 13 minutes before she is brought back to life. After that, her friends start acting distant and she begins finding patterns with the number 13 all around her.”
Produced by Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Michael De Luca, and Trevor Engelson, 13 Minutes will be adapted by Savage and Schwartz.
