Written by Rektok Ross, the winter survival thriller Ski Weekend is getting a movie adaptation, with Miles Koules and Oren Koules (Saw) teaming on the upcoming movie.
Deadline reports that the young adult thriller is being made for Koulest Productions, a new production company launched by Miles Koules, the son of Oren Koules.
“Ski Weekend is the debut novel of former top international trial attorney Liani Kotcher, written under the pen name Rektok Ross. It follows six teens stranded in the mountains who are forced to make impossible choices about who will live and who will die.”
“SKI WEEKEND has a special place in my heart,” said Rektok Ross. “As a teen once myself and now a mother to three stepchildren, it was important to me to tell a story that’s accessible to kids and adults alike about the harm of stereotyping and prejudging one another—especially in today’s current climate. I’m so excited to be working with Oren and Miles as they are true visionaries who understood the heart of this book from the very start.”
Miles Koules said, “Rektok has crafted a timely, fast-paced survival story that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end, wondering what you would do to survive. But even more than that is her framing of the important issues of today with layered, diverse teen characters navigating questions of life, death, and everything in between. It’s not often you stumble upon a thriller with this level of depth, and I knew upon reading the book that it needed to be brought to the screen. I can’t wait to show everyone what we have been working on!”
Ski Weekend (the novel) was released last October.
