One of the hottest horror writers working in Hollywood today, Akela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN) has set up her next project, and Deadline brings us the scoop this morning.
Akela Cooper will write the feature length adaptation of It’s Over, an unpublished short story from Jack Follman that Sony Pictures has scooped up this week.
“The deal landed in the mid- to high-six-figure range,” Deadline notes.
Deadline also details, “The 29-page unpublished short story hit the marketplace Wednesday, the first day writers were back in business. In what might be a good sign if the rumors are true that many writers spent downtime writing specs, the town responded quickly. Without giving away the reveals, It’s Over takes the painful breakup of a longtime couple and drives it right into the horror lane, blending humor and social commentary, as Cooper did in M3GAN.”
Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment will produce, along with Ground Control.
