Team Downey to produce A Head Full of Ghosts adaptation

February 20, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Deadline is reporting that Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey’s Team Downey is set to produce a feature film adaptation of Paul Tremblay’s thriller novel A Head Full of Ghosts, which will be written and directed by Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House).

A Head Full of Ghosts follows Merry, “who 20 years after her family was publicly consumed and destroyed by her teenage sister’s mysterious and horrific affliction, is approached by a journalist to tell the story in her own words. She reveals a far more terrifying version of what really happened in her childhood home.”

Focus Features is producing the movie, with Perkins set to rewrite a script originally penned by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowsky.
