Describes Deadline.com, "The premise: a man is sentenced to time in a prison run by vampires. The graphic novel was published in 2007 and written and created by Scott O. Brown with art by Ferran Xalabarder. Wan will oversee the development of a script. His latest film, Insidious, plays in the Midnight Madness program at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.

“The minute I heard the concept, I was in, Wan said. “Reading the graphic novel cemented that. Like Saw, it’s a simple concept that, if executed properly, will be so cool."

Said Platinum’s Rosenberg: “James’ experience crafting the contained horror in Saw will be a big help in his informing the visual experience of Nightfall.”

Platinum is currently in production on Cowboys and Aliens.

Awesome.
The first saw was amazing.
The rest are crap, but he didn't direct those.

Definately got disappointed when I read further and noticed that this was a movie about vampires and not the awesome 90's batman nightfall graphic novel.

I've never read this. Anyone know if it's any good or not and worth shelling the money out for?

Big fan of his work! LOVED his SAW, Dead Silence AND Death Sentence especially!!! I really hope he gets to direct Castlevania which is probably THE MOVIE i've been anticipating the absolute most!!! If it ever gets made, it will be a wetdream come true for me! :)
