'Oculus' director Mike Flanagan has revealed that he is going to adapt 'Gerald's Game' for his next project.
Flanagan is writing the script with his writing partner Jeff Howard. Trevor Macy and his Intrepid Pictures banner will produce, as he also did on Flanagan's two horror films, reported Deadline.
Flanagan and Macy originally intended the next picture to be 'Diver', a film that would have started production this summer.
They've pushed that picture back and instead will plunge full on into 'Gerald's Game, which is casting for a fall start and will be selling at Cannes.
"In the tradition of Misery and Dolores Claiborne, Gerald's Game is one of the most intense and compelling novels I've ever read, and this has been a dream project for many years.
"Trevor and I are very excited to help translate that experience for an audience," said Flanagan, who'll push Diver back to 2015.
'Gerald's Game' revolves around a seemingly harmless contest between a married couple in a remote retreat.
