The Hollywood Reporter reports that David Gordon Green – moving on from comedies Superbad and Pineapple Express – will direct the horror thriller Freaks of the Heartland for Overture Films.
The film will be based on the Dark Horse graphic novel by Steve Niles. It followed a teenager’s attempts at protecting his “monster” of a 6-year old younger brother, along with other “freaks” of rural Middle American town Gristlewood Valley, from their parents’ worst instincts.
Peter Sattler and Geoff Davey are adapting the screenplay.

David Gordon Green had nothing to do with Superbad.
