STX Welcomes ‘The Bye Bye Man’
STX Entertainment has announced that they have acquired the horror film The Bye Bye Man, which is based off of Robert Damon Schneck’s short story “The Bridge to Body Island”, according to Deadline. The film will be directed by Stacy Black (Hood of Horror, Let The Devil Wear Black) and produced by Trevor Macy, Simon Horsman, and Jeffrey Soros.
While no specific details have been released, the site claims the plot is about, “…a man who wants to prove his brother innocent from the crimes of a supernatural murder.”
Jonathan Penner and David Prior wrote the script and confirmed casting includes Douglas Smith (Percy Jackson), Cressida Bonas (Tulip Fever), Lucien Laviscount (“Scream Queens”) and Doug Jones (Ouija).
The film will also be co-produced by Intrepid, who have Safe House and Oculus under their belts.
We previously reported on the film last September.
