Published in 1983 and penned by James Herbert, the horror novel Shrine has been tapped for a feature adaptation, with Deadline reporting that Sam Raimi is on board to produce.
Evan Spiliotopoulos (Beauty and the Beast) will write and direct for Screen Gems.
The story is about a disgraced journalist who discovers a series of seemingly divine miracles in a small New England town and uses them to resurrect his career. But the “miracles” may have a much darker source.
Rob Tapert will produce alongside Raimi.
