Amazon Studios has put in development “Bone White”, a drama based on Ronald Malfi’s novel, from writer C. Henry Chaisson (Antlers), Warren Littlefield (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) and Fox 21 TV Studios, reports Deadline.
Written by Chiasson based on Malfi’s novel, in Bone White, after a telepathic distress call from his estranged twin brother jolts him out of his humdrum existence, an agoraphobic professor journeys deep into the Alaskan wilderness to uncover a vast supernatural mystery with the help of an intrepid police investigator.
The Amazon description offer way more interesting information:
“Paul Gallo saw the report on the news: a mass murderer leading police to his victims’ graves, in remote Dread’s Hand, Alaska.
It’s not even a town; more like the bad memory of a town. The same bit of wilderness where his twin brother went missing a year ago. As the bodies are exhumed, Paul travels to Alaska to get closure and put his grief to rest.
But the mystery is only beginning. What Paul finds are superstitious locals who talk of the devil stealing souls, and a line of wooden crosses to keep what’s in the woods from coming out. He finds no closure because no one can explain exactly what happened to Danny. And the more he searches for answers, the more he finds himself becoming part of the mystery…”
Chaisson co-wrote the upcoming Fox Searchlight horror feature Antlers, directed by Scott Cooper, produced by Guillermo del Toro, and starring Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons.
