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.
