In a bidding war, Sony Pictures has landed “It’s Over,” a horror adaptation based on the short story of the same name written by Jack Follman, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
“The Nun II” screenwriter Akela Cooper will write the script based off Folman’s work. According to Deadline, which first reported the news, the deal landed in the mid- to high-six-figure range.
Producing the feature adaption is Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment alongside Scott Glassgold’s Ground Control.
Maia Eyre is overseeing the project on behalf of the studio. The unpublished 29-page short story made its debut in the marketplace on Wednesday, marking the writers’ return to work.
