Well, it looks like SINISTER director Scott Derrickson and screenwriter C. Robert Cargill plan to tackle another R-rated horror movie once Derrickson finishes up work on his upcoming Marvel movie DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS.
Derrickson tweets:
I’m often asked if I’ll ever return to R-rated horror. The answer is a resounding YES. After Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness, I’ll go straight into a horror film I’ve already written with [C. Robert Cargill].
Cargill responded:
Man, thanks for all the love, you guys. Scott Derrickson and I have been sitting on this secret for a while, but we're super excited about it. Can't wait to make it. Might as well also tell you that it's an adaptation of a Joe Hill joint. Everything else we gotta keep quiet ATM.
No word on just which Hill "joint" Derrickson and Cargill are taking on but here's hoping it's an adaptation of Hill's novel THE FIREMAN.
It follows this killer synopsis:
A mysterious infection causes people to spontaneously combust and society must deal with the fallout of this event. Harper Grayson (Willowes), who was a happily married school nurse before the epidemic broke out, finds sanctuary in a small society founded by The Fireman when she contracts the infection. She must learn to not only navigate this increasingly dangerous community but deal with the ever-present fear she will one day spontaneously combust, taking her unborn child with her.
