Amazon Studios is hoping to avoid turning to stone as they stare into the eyes of Medusa, with THR reporting that Amazon Studios is developing a film based on the Greek myth.
Nicole Kassell (“Watchmen”) is on board to direct Medusa for Amazon, described as “an action adventure project centered on the Greek mythological character.”
THR adds, “Nicole Perlman, known for her Marvel Studios work, penned the script that reimagines what audiences may know about everybody’s favorite Gorgon, who has snakes for hair and whose stare turns ordinary people into stone.”
“Plot details are being kept behind the mirror but the fantasy story sees Medusa, after running afoul of the ancient gods, setting out on an epic quest to save the world,” THR adds.
Vinson Films’ Tripp Vinson and Tara Farney (Ready or Not) are producing alongside Kassell.
It sounds like this one could be in the vein of something like The Mummy (1999), blending horror with an action-adventure tone. Stay tuned for more on the film as we learn it.
