Darren Lynn Bousman shifts to thriller genre (BD, VAR)
By Nancy Tartaglione
Horror writer-director Darren Lynn Bousman will segue into the thriller genre with an untitled pitch said to be in the vein of "The Parallax View" and "The Firm."
Bloody Disgusting and Variety report that the "Saw II-IV", "Repo! The Genetic Opera," "Mother's Day" and "11-11-11" director has sold the pitch to Andrew Adamson and Aron Warner's Strange Weather Films.
Bousman also plans to produce and direct the project.
"It's exciting getting more back into creating my own material," Bousman told BD. "This year I sold a monster script I wrote, '11-11-11,' and now this new project. I can't say a lot about it - it's not 'horror' per se - but more of a dark thriller."
Per Variety, Bousman will begin work on the script after finishing post on "11-11-11."
