Get this, Focus Features is developing a movie based on Paul Tremblay’s upcoming thriller A Head Full Of Ghosts with Robert Downey Jr.’s Team Downey and Dan Dubiecki’s Allegiance Theater producing, Variety reports.
While Robert Downey Jr.’s Team Downey is producing, it doesn’t mention anything about Downey Jr. starring, although I would love to see him take on a role in this cool twist on the exorcism subgenre (even though Repossessed did it first).
A Head Full of Ghosts, to be published in June by HarperCollins’ William Morrow imprint, “centers on a normal suburban New England family being torn apart when the 14-year-old begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia — leading to tragedy as the family attempts an exorcism and finds themselves the subject of a reality TV show.”
The writing team of Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski will write the adaptation.
