Cullen Bunn and Jack T. Cole’s graphic novel The Unsound is getting a feature film adaptation, with Deadline reporting today that Netflix has landed the rights. Director David F. Sandberg, who arrived on the scene with the horror films Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation and most recently directed Shazam!, will be heading back to the horror genre to direct the film.
In BOOM! Studios’ The Unsound:
“A psychiatrist returns to the insane asylum where her mother once worked and is now a patient, hoping to quell a bloody wave of horror that’s been unleashed.”
“As she descends down the rabbit hole and discovers hard truths about her own past, she comes to understand the hospital is hiding secrets of its own, and perhaps she and her mother have more in common than she realized.”
Skylar James (29 Mole Street) is on board to write the script.
