Time for another vampire movie! Not something completely new, because this one has been in development since 2007.
It's an adaptation of a bestselling novel written by Justin Cronin, and titled The Passage, that will be directed by Let Me In helmer Matt Reeves.
John Logan was at one moment in charge for the script (he's now busy with the new James Bond flick, so he's no longer on board), but we learned that Reeves will oversee a rewrite by a yet-to-be-determined screenwriter.
This definitely means that Mat Reeves is very busy guy these days. I'm sure you already know he will also direct an adaptation of the Ray Nelson short story 8 O'clock in the Morning, which was used as the basis for John Carpenter's 1988 cult classic They Live.
We still have no idea which project will begin production first, so we'll keep an eye on both of them.
In a meanwhile, here's a little description of The Passage:
This is the story of Amy, abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl, and risks everything to save her.
As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape, but he can't stop society's collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.
