Darren Lynn Bousman, director of Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV, is still set to direct Abattoir, which will be produced by Radical Studios, and brought onto the market at AFM by Paris-based sales company Versatile Films, Variety reports.
Bousman will work from a screenplay by Christopher Monfette, who adapts the Radical Publishing comicbook miniseries created by Bousman.
“It turns on a Boston real-estate reporter who unearths an urban legend about someone who has spent decades buying homes where horrific tragedies have occurred in order to build the ultimate haunted house — the Abattoir.“
Currently in pre-production — casting is under way — Abattoir is scheduled to shoot early next year for a fall 2014 delivery.
A prequel exists in comic form through Radical.
