Matt Reeves to Direct The Passage

Movieweb.com reports that Matt Reeves has been hired to direct The Passage for Fox 2000. The screenplay by John Logan, for which Matt Reeves will be supervising a re-write, is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Justin Cronin (The Passage: A Novel (See all Contemporary Literature)) .




The Passage follows what happens when a scientific experiment goes wrong, creating a horde of blood-hungry vampires set on destroying the world. It begins with a group of terminally ill cancer patients being treated with South African bat bites. At first, this seems like the perfect cure, but it soon turns out that this treatment is breeding an unstoppable army of indestructible bloodsuckers who can also read minds. Before long, they set out to infect the entire populace of the world.(Alan Orange movieweb.com)


Unfortunately he will also be directing the remake of They Live (They Live (See all Alien Invasions)). I know remakes have always existed in Hollywood, but damn people!!! There have been way too many in the past few years.
