Though they always have a myriad of projects on their slate, you can add another to the list of movies that Platinum Dunes wants to make … in the horror for the whole family genre. Interested? Read on for the 411!
According to THR Paramount is in negotiations to pick up The Hauntrepreneur, an original spec by Scott Rosenberg.
Platinum Dunes, the horror thriller shingle run by Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, is producing.
The story centers on a family that has trouble adjusting to a new town and hires a peculiar man, the Hauntrepreneur, to help it. The man attempts to bring them together by creating a haunted house populated by an odd cast of characters.
The tone is described as being similar to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
More as it comes.
