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.
Abattoir will answer the genre’s most terrifying question: How do you build a haunted house?
Bousman will work from a screenplay by Christopher Monfette, who adapts the Radical Publishing comicbook miniseries created by Bousman.
“Somebody has spent decades purchasing the sites of horrific tragedies, removing the bloodied rooms and piecing them together. When a Boston real-estate reporter unearths this urban legend, the story will lead her the enigmatic Jebediah Crone and his impossible construction — 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.
