Drew Goddard, director of The Cabin in the Woods, screenwriter for The Martian (and a never-to-be made X-Force movie), will tackle the cinematic adaptation of Nick Drnaso’s graphic novel Sabrina for New Regency and RT Features.
The story follows the murder of a woman named Sabrina, the many conspiracy theories that spawn surrounding her death and the toll it takes on her family and friends. The graphic novel was published in 2018 and is the first to be longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. It was also named to the New York Times' 100 Notable Books of the Year and The Guardian's Best Books of 2018 list.
Goddard is set to write the script and also has an option to direct.
