John Davis’ Sony TV-based Davis Entertainment is bringing together a feature writer, Source Code‘s Ben Ripley, and director, Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring and Fast and the Furious 7‘s James Wan, for a drama project, which has sold to NBC with significant penalty, reports Deadline.
Written by Ripley and to be directed by Wan, “ ‘Maidenhead is described as a medical procedural wrapped in a very realistic, frightening supernatural drama.
A scientist is called into a tony Connecticut suburb to investigate an ailing teen girl to discover her affliction presents itself as a demonic contagion slowly spreading through the town. Our team peels back the secrets and lies buried within the fabric of the community while medically deconstructing the tropes of demon mythology.”
This marks the first TV project for Wan.
