Author Christopher Pike has written a plethora of books that are just begging for movie adaptations, but Mike Flanagan’s Netflix series “The Midnight Club” is a rare example of a Pike story actually making its way onto the screen. Die Softly was recently optioned for feature film adaptation, however, and now we’ve learned that Tubi is turning Remember Me into a movie.
Variety reports that Danishka Esterhazy (Slumber Party Massacre, Tubi’s viral hit Match) will direct Christopher Pike’s Remember Me movie from a script by Suzanne Keilly.
Suzanne Keilly previously wrote Esterhazy’s Slumber Party Massacre remake.
Brec Bassinger (Final Destination Bloodlines) and Charlie Gillespie (Sidelined 2: Intercepted) will star in Tubi original movie Remember Me. Here’s the movie’s official synopsis:
“In this Young Adult supernatural murder-mystery, Shari Cooper (Bassinger) is dead. Like, fell from the top of a high-rise to the street below, dead. And one of her friends is her killer.
“Now she has to solve her own murder from beyond the grave, before the relentless, soul-sucking Shadow that’s stalking her gets to her first.”
Mila Rayne (Darby and the Dead), Phoebe Lyons (Watch Me Burn), Matthew Vey (Summertide) and Kealeboga Masango (Genesis) will also star in Tubi’s supernatural thriller.
“Tubi has become a destination for Young Adult audiences seeking relatable stories, compelling themes and character-driven storytelling brought to life by dynamic talent like Brec and Charlie,” Tubi’s Chief Content Officer Adam Lewinson said in a statement. “Christopher Pike’s Remember Me became a rite of passage for a generation — a twisty, supernatural thriller that readers never forgot — and we’re excited to reimagine it for today’s audience.”
Christopher Pike’s Remember Me was originally published in 1989. That novel spawned two sequels: Remember Me 2: The Return in 1994 and Remember Me 3: The Last Story in 1995.
