Overview
- A24 won the film and TV rights after a months‑long bidding process led by Verve in collaboration with Exurbia Films.
- The first project is a television series directed by JT Mollner, who says he will honor the original’s folklore rather than mount a remake.
- Glen Powell will executive produce via Barnstorm in a producing‑only capacity alongside Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Stuart Manashil, Ben Ross, and Kim Henkel, with Ian Henkel and Pat Cassidy producing.
- A separate feature from the same producing group is in early development without Mollner attached, and it has not yet been packaged or set for distribution.
- The deal extends A24’s strategy in prestige horror IP, joining projects such as the Friday the 13th prequel Crystal Lake.
