According to the Hollywood Reporter, Clive Barker is partnering with Walden Media to create an original young adult thriller which will center on the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe.
The film, which barker will produce and develop the story for, will revolve around a group of teenagers who attempt to uncover what happened during the last two weeks of Poe’s life. They inadvertently trigger a curse that unlocks Poe’s nightmares from which they must escape.
“I think we might have a chance with this project to bring the character of Poe alive for a new audience and weave his shadowy existence into the dark enchantments of his stories so that for our protagonist, and for our audience, it will be difficult to be sure where one finishes and the other takes flight,” Barker said.
