They will build the largest haunted house ever.
Michael and Peter Spierig, the Aussie filmmakers behind Undead, Daybreaks and Predestination, have in their crosshairs the Hammer Films’ supernatural thriller Winchester, reports Deadline.
“The pic is about an heir to that firearms family fortune who believes she has been cursed by the victims and the lethal legacy of the “gun that won the West.””
The Spierig siblings will rewrite to direct the film, which will be shot in the world famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. The story revolves around heir Sarah Winchester who in 1884 began 38 years of construction on the 24,000 square foot, 160-room Gothic mansion. It was after the sudden deaths of her husband and child that Winchester began to believe she was cursed by the family legacy, and she was instructed to build the mansion by a spiritualist medium, to appease the spirits. She never stopped building.
