Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, the duo behind the hit Ethan Hawke-led horror pic Sinister and Marvel’s Doctor Strange, are keeping their ties with Blumhouse TV alive as they have inked a first-look deal with the banner under their Crooked Highway banner, according to Deadline.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Scott, Cargill, and Sherryl into the Blumhouse family, to work with us in television,” Jason Blum said in a statement.
“It was an easy, natural progression for us to collaborate further with Jason in television, given our success with Blumhouse on the feature side,” Derrickson and Cargill said in a statement.
Derrickson and Cargill first worked with Blumhouse on the 2012 hit Sinister, which they co-wrote together and Derrickson helmed and would reunite with the studio to pen the script for its sequel, though Derrickson would not step into the director’s chair again for it.
