New Line Cinema has just closed a deal to acquire The Children, a pitch by the writing team of Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis, reports Deadline. It’s being fast-tracked with production planned for early next year.
In the script a social worker investigating the mysterious disappearance of two children discovers her own family might also be in jeopardy.
Daughtry and Iaconis made the 2013 Black List for their spec “Elsewhere,” and they just adapted the Spanish film Sleep Tight, pictured, for producers Peter Block and Guy Stodel.
[REC]‘s Jaume Balagueró helmed Filmax’s 2011 thriller that follows a woman stalked by the building’s landlord.
