James Wan’s production company Atomic Monster has acquired the rights to and will produce the film adaptation of Nick Cutter’s book “The Troop.” E. L. Katz is set to direct.
“The Troop” follows a group of teens on a remote camping trip, who are forced to fend for themselves when their chaperone falls prey to an otherworldly infection.
Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald (“The Trench”) are writing the screenplay, based on Cutter’s book. Michael Clear is also serving as producer, while Judson Scott is overseeing the project on behalf of Atomic Monster, which is producing alongside JS Entertainment and Starlight Media.
