After being inspired by V/H/S with their found-footage horror Afflicted (pictured), both CBS Films and directing duo Clif Prowse and Derek Lee will adapt the Trevor Shane novel Children Of Paranoia, Deadline reports.
The first book in a bestselling trilogy, “‘Children Of Paranoia’ tells the story of an innocent young man who comes to learn that the tragic death of his sister is connected to a clandestine, global war that’s been raging for centuries. Bent on revenge, the young man becomes a secret soldier in the battle, assassinating enemy targets from the shadows. Then he falls for a beautiful young woman who causes him to question which side he’s really on — good or evil.”
Marc Haimes is rewriting the Children of Paranoia script, and it will be produced by Automatik’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Chris Ferguson.
