Back in May we reported that director Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) was attached to direct The Keep, Ehren Kruger’s (The Ring, Skeleton Key) adaptation of Jennifer Egan’s novella. Today the official word is finally here. Oplev is in!

According to The Hollywood Reporter CBS Films has closed a deal for rights to Jennifer Egan’s spooky 2006 best-seller The Keep and is in final negotiations to acquire the adapted screenplay script by Kruger for Oplev.

Described by one observer as The Ring meets Inception dig on the plot crunch below and look for more soon!

Synopsis
“Two cousins, irreversibly damaged by a childhood prank whose devastating consequences changed both their lives, reunite twenty years later to renovate a medieval castle in Eastern Europe, a castle steeped in blood lore and family pride. Built over a secret system of caves and tunnels, the castle and its violent history invoke and subvert all the elements of a Gothic past: twins, a pool, an old baroness, a fearsome tower. In an environment of extreme paranoia, cut off from the outside world, the men reenact the signal event of their youth, with even more catastrophic results. And as the full horror of their predicament unfolds, a prisoner, in jail for an unnamed crime, recounts an unforgettable story — a story about two cousins who unite to renovate a castle — that brings the crimes of the past and present into piercing relation.”
