Universal has tapped Belgian helmer Erik Van Looy (The Memory of a Killer) to direct the already announced supernatural thriller Dream House, set up with Ehren Kruger (The Ring, Skelton Key) and Daniel Bobker under their Bobker/Kruger banner, according to Variety. Studio launched development of “Dream House” last summer via a preemptive deal for David Loucka’s spec. Story centers on a man moving his family into what first appears to be an ideal country residence, followed by a series of ominous occurrences. Stokely Chaffin will be exec producer on “Dream House.” Bobker/Kruger signed a term deal last year with Universal. Kruger wrote and Bobker produced Kate Hudson starrer “The Skeleton Key” for U and “The Brothers Grimm.” Kruger also scripted “The Ring” for DreamWorks.
