The Scott Hampton's supernatural graphic novel Trespassers is getting a big screen treatment with Ryan E. Heppe as a producer and Bob Gale (Back to the Future) on board to adapt the story in a script.
"A good horror flick needs one thing: a simple, original premise that's terrifying as hell," Heppe said. "Add to that obvious franchise potential, and the opportunity to combine "found footage"-style scares with traditional filmmaking frights and you've got something really unique."
Here's a brief description on the graphic novel premise:
Story centers on a group of mythbusters, set on debunking the legend of a famous allegedly haunted house. They have their scientific rationality tested when they discover demonic guardians, a gateway to hell and the fact that not all of them are exactly who they claim to be.
Hampton also wrote and drew
The Upturned Stone, which was set up twice by David Foster, Heppe and Shane Riches at Dimension Films. Not to forget that Bob Gale was the co-writer for the first
Back to the Future and also had some influence on the scripts for both the sequels.
