Deadline is reporting that AMC is developing a supernatural horror series based upon the bestselling Joe Hill novel NOS4A2, which is to be produced by Michael Eisner’s Tornate TV and AMC Studios. The search is currently underway for a writer to adapt the novel, which was published in 2013.
“NOS4A2 centers on Victoria “Vic” McQueen, a young woman with an uncanny talent for finding lost things… a gift that is gradually destroying her mind. Her search for help leads her to someone with powers not unlike her own: the psychopath Charlie Manx, who has survived for a century by abducting children in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith (license plate: NOS4A2), and draining his passengers of their souls to keep himself forever young. When Manx kidnaps Vic’s own son, she’ll plunge into the impossible, nightmare world that lies just beneath the surface of everyday America in a desperate attempt to get him back.”
NOS4A2 will be the second Hill project to reach the screen after the Daniel Radcliffe-headlined Horns, while his novel Heart Shaped Box and comic book series Locke & Key are also in development as features.
