The Momo Challenge may have been a viral, Internet hoax, but the premise of the Momo Challenge will now be adapted into a horror movie.
Orion Pictures is partnering with Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment and producer Taka Ichise, who previously collaborated on “The Grudge” and “The Ring,” to develop a horror film that’s based on the work of art that inspired the viral Momo Challenge, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
The “challenge” sparked hysteria online after it was believed that an image of a demonic chicken lady would pop up during children’s programming and games or on social networking apps and goad children into violent acts or even suicide.
