Bob Gale (Back to the Future) and Ryan E. Heppe (Short Circuit) are set to bring Scott Hampton‘s supernatural graphic novel Trespassers to the big screen. The story centers on a group of mythbusters who set out to debunk the legend of a famous allegedly haunted house. They have their scientific rationality tested when they discover demonic guardians, a gateway to hell and the fact that not all of them are exactly who they claim to be.
Producer Ryan Heppe told Variety,
“A good horror flick needs one thing: a simple, original premise that’s terrifying as hell,” Heppe said. “Add to that obvious franchise potential, and the opportunity to combine “found footage”-style scares with traditional filmmaking frights and you’ve got something really unique.”
No production or release dates have been announced for Trespassers.
