Sony Locks Up Rights to Gothic Horror Story ‘Where The Devil Hides’
Columbia Pictures has preemptively acquired the rights to Where The Devil Hides, a new gothic horror novel by Craig Russell, reports Deadline.
Set in Eastern Europe, Where the Devil Hides follows a physician set to experiment on the six deadliest killers in history, who’ve been imprisoned for life within a remote mental asylum, with a dark history and bloody secrets all its own.
The U.S. publishing rights to the novel just sold to Doubleday’s Jason Kaufman, the same editor who shepherded Dan Brown’s mega-bestselling Da Vinci Code, which was adapted into a $1.4 billion film franchise also by Columbia Pictures. Little, Brown UK (Constable Books) will release the book, tentatively due out April 2019 stateside and in the UK.
Jake Bauman, Sony Pictures’ new VP of literary development in New York, first discovered the book. David Beaubaire and Kira Thompson will oversee for Columbia. Joel Gotler at IPG negotiated the film deal working in conjunction with David Higham Associates.
Anya Taylor-Joy fights the world in George Miller’s hotly anticipated Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the upcoming prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road that’s coming next month.
Warner Bros.’ Furiosa has been rated “R” this week for…
“Sequences of strong violence, and grisly images.”
Furiosa will release in theaters on May 24, 2024. The film will tell the origin story of the character Charlize Theron made famous in Fury Road, also directed by George Miller.
“As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by the Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.”
Chris Hemsworth co-stars as Warlord Dementus.
“Whereas Fury Road essentially happened over three days and two nights, this happens over many years,” Miller had teased during a press conference last year.
Miller is co-writing and directing the movie for Warner Bros.
Back in 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road grossed nearly $400 million worldwide at the box office and won SIX Oscars, while also scoring rave reviews nearly across the entire board.
Last we heard, Miller also intends on making sequels centered on Tom Hardy‘s Mad Max.
