RL Stine helped convert an entire generation to the world of horror in the early to mid 90's with his made-for-children horror novels Goosebumps. Heaven knows, I had my Goosebump sheets, and I have to say, they are most likely the reason I'm so god damn obsessed with this shit today.
Sony Pictures has announced plans for an adaptation of the popular children's book/television series, and while they have already nailed down a director in Rob Letterman (Monsters vs. Aliens, Shark Tale), The Warp is reporting that they have a big name in negotiations to star.
So this is actually the first I’m hearing about this, surprisingly
enough, but Michael Cera stars in a new psychological thriller that’s
being released by Sony Pictures.
Directed by Sebastian Silva, the plot is as follows: “Removed
from everything she’s ever known, a young traveler finds herself
surrounded by a group of strangers in the Chilean countryside. With
tension rising, she must conquer her deepest fears and darkest secrets
before her dreams become reality and her reality… a nightmare.”
This looks pretty damn awesome to me, especially Michael Cera’s
performance. Some may gripe that it’s a straight to DVD release, but
hell, it’s horror. That doesn’t mean much in this genre, some of the
greatest stuff never sees the light of day in movie theaters. Check out
the trailer below and let me know what you think! Do you think Cera will
be able to carry this?
