Talk about a power duo! Deadline is reporting that James Wan and Sam Raimi have boarded a feature film adaptation of Dutch short The Burden, directed by Nico van den Brink.
The short was picked up last night by JS Entertainment and Starlight Media, with Wan’s Atomic Monster and Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures set to produce the adaptation.
“The short centers on a young woman visiting her boyfriend’s family home. There, she learns about a sinister history with his creepy neighbor and soon, all kinds of skeletons come out of the closet.”
Van den Brink’s short Sweet Tooth is also being adapted, by Atomic Monster and New Line.
