Chilean helmer Jorge Olguin is directing the Mayhem Project’s horror pic Clock Tower, based on the Japanese vidgame franchise, according to Variety. Jake Wade Wall (When a Stranger Calls) continues to get more and more projects as we will pen the script, which concerns a young woman who receives a disturbing phone call from her estranged mother warning her not to come home. When she investigates, she uncovers a terrible supernatural truth from her past. Production is slated to begin this fall. Olguin made an impression on Mayhem when he presented the company with a set of animated storyboards for “Clock Tower,” featuring Scissorhands — the “Clock Tower” villain — as well as a trailer for the movie based on Wade Wall’s script. Hopefully we’ll see this little animated fun online sometime soon? Launched in 1997 by Japanese vidgame studio Capcom, the Clock Tower franchise has become one of the bestselling vidgames of all time. “Clock Tower 3” alone has sold over 2 million units.
