Jeffrey Dean Morgan (“The Walking Dead”) will continue hanging around in the horror genre with Screen Gems’ upcoming Shrine, Deadline reports today, an adaptation of the same-titled novel penned by James Herbert. The novel was originally released back in 1983.
Evan Spiliotopoulos is on board to adapt the novel and direct the film.
“Shrine focuses on 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.”
Ghost House’s Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert will produce.
