Deadline is reporting that 20th Century Fox is closing a deal from screenwriters Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place) to adapt Stephen King’s short story The Boogeyman for 21 Laps’ producers Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, and Dan Cohen (Stranger Things).
After the release of John Krasinski’s hit A Quiet Place, King was quick to praise the film.
The screenwriting duo who worked with director/star Krasinski on A Quiet Place will now have the opportunity to step directly into one of King’s own stories where they will also be executive producing.
The Boogeyman follows a man who recently lost all his children to a creature lurking in the closet.
