A road trip takes a deadly turn in Stephen King & Joe Hill’s In the Tall Grass, and now Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice) is set to direct a feature film version of the 2012 novella.
ScreenDaily reports that cameras are scheduled to roll on the feature film version of In the Tall Grass this September, with Natali directing from his own screenplay adaptation. Copperheart and Mosaic Media are producing the project.
In the Tall Grass follows "a young man and his pregnant sister on a road trip who end up fighting for their lives in a field after they respond to a boy’s cries for help." The novella was originally published as a two-part story in Esquire.
Concerning the novella, Natali (who directed the first three episodes of the upcoming third season of Hannibal) said, "They [Stephen and Joe] have transformed an otherwise innocuous Kansas field into a stage for some of the most disturbing horror fiction I have ever read.” Stay tuned to Daily Dead for further updates on In the Tall Grass.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
