Academy Award winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman is prepping to direct Stephanie, which is “about a little girl with unworldly abilities who was abandoned before a man and a woman show up claiming to be her parents, thereby interrupting her mysterious world.”
He last directed Winter’s Tale, but this new project shows more promise with a good horror pedigree behind it. It’s being produced by Unbroken Pictures’ Adrienne Biddle and Bryan Bertino (you’ll remember that Bertino directed The Strangers) along with Jason Blum at Blumhouse and Eric Robinson & Nate Matteson at The Gotham Group.
The film was written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski and will shoot in the fall, per Deadline.
