“Cloverfield” and “Lost” creator JJ Abrams is to make a new mystery movie: “Mystery on Fifth Avenue,” based on a New York Times article. Writers Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky have been hired to adapt it into a film, with Marc Evans overseeing for the studio.
Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to the article by Penny Green about the owners of a New York house who discovered secret panels and hidden clues in their home which led them on a scavenger hunt.
The trade daily says the mystery involved “a poem, a book, a soundtrack and a host of historical figures”.
Abrams will produce the film through his company, Bad Robot.
