Written by Sam Ripley, which is said to be a “pseudonym for a well-established author,” upcoming horror novel The Rule of Three is already getting a film adaptation, Deadline reports.
Screen Gems has acquired the novel, with Temple Hill (Smile) on board to produce.
In The Rule of Three, “Can you change your own fate? That question haunts three women. As they become increasingly convinced that a mysterious urban myth called the Rule of Three is real, they must find a way to break the curse or be doomed to die like those who came before them. But when you’re not sure if what you think is happening is even the truth, how do you know if you are actually in danger? And if you don’t know, how will you be able to protect yourself? If death comes in threes, who will survive, and who will solve the Rule of Three?”
So who wrote the upcoming book, you ask? The site’s report indicates, “Sam Ripley is a pseudonym for a bestselling British author whose works have sold over a million copies globally. They aren’t divulging the author’s identity at this point.” Any guesses…?
Deadline details, “Simon & Schuster UK will publish the book in June, and Emily Bestler at Simon & Schuster U.S. just pre-empted U.S. rights in a six-figure deal.”
