Dan Signs Horror Script Development Deal With Working Title
Dan has today signed a deal with Working Title Films to develop a screenplay for his horror movie Long Time Dead based on a story he developed with first-time feature director Marcus Adams and producer James Gay-Rees. This will be Dan’s first feature film as screenwriter.
The team pitched the project around London and there was great interest and competitive bids but they decided to go with Working Title and look forward to working with them in the coming months and years.
Dan will write the original screenplay working closely with Working Title’s Head of Development Natascha Wharton who also heads up their low-budget arm WT2 with Head of Production Jon Finn.
The movie will tell the story of a group of college students who experiment with a Ouija board and inadvertently unleash an evil spirit which puts their lives in danger.
