Lionsgate is heading Down a Dark Hall with some huge names.
Heat Vision reports that the studio will adapt Lois Duncan’s 1974 young-adult novel for the big screen, with Twilight author Stephenie Meyer producing.
The best news is that Buried‘s Rodrigo Cortés is set to direct!
“It follows Kit Gordy, a new student at the exclusive Blackwood Boarding School who confronts the school’s supernatural occurrences and dark powers of its headmistress.”
Michael Goldbach was brought on by Meyer and Hibbett to write the original draft of the screenplay. Chris Sparling, who wrote Gus Van Sant’s upcoming Sea of Trees and the thriller Buried (which Cortés directed), will do additional writing on the script.
Duncan’s novels have previously been adapted into films including 1997’s slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer.
