Alexandre Aja to make Joe Hill's "Horns"

[_____V_____]

One of the hottest horror filmmakers out there today will adapt a novel by one of the hottest horror writers around: Alexandre Aja will direct the film adaptation of Joe Hill's Horns.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Aja "is teaming up with scary storyteller Joe Hill on the feature adaptation of Hill's novel Horns, being made by Mandalay."

"Aja is coming on board to direct the project, about a 26-year-old man who wakes up with a massive hangover and discovers horns sprouting from his head. He becomes convinced that their existence is tied to the unsolved murder of his girlfriend.

"Scott Bunin wrote the script adaptation of the novel, which was published in February 2010.

"Mandalay's Cathy Schulman and Peter Guber are producing. Hill, also the writer of the horror comic book series Locke & Key and the son of author Stephen King, is executive producing.

"Mandalay is packaging the project and is in the middle of securing financing. The goal is to have Aja direct the movie in late spring or early summer 2012 before moving on to Cobra, a sci-fi pirate movie based on manga source material."

"Mandalay is also developing an adaptation of Hill's short story Twittering from the Circus of the Dead. Todd Lincoln is attached to direct."

Heard Horns was a great book and I love Hill's writing, but i wouldve rather seen Heart-Shaped Box become a movie. Although i do think Horns is way more of an original story. Cant Wait.

Daniel Radcliffe to star in supernatural thriller 'Horns'

Daniel Radcliffe has been cast in the adaptation of Joe Hill’s New York Times best-seller Horns.
Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) will direct the film that centers on Ig Perrish (Radcliffe), the prime suspect in the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend. Perrish awakens one day with a hangover and horns growing out of his head. More strange: The horns have the power to get people to confess their sins — which should help him find the real killer.

Seen a lot of good reviews from the book. I have to say, I'm quite excited since I'm not much of a book reader so movie is really good news for me.

Ditto having him in it is all I need to know to avoid this like the plague-what a waste of a potentially good adaptation.

He's not a bad actor or anything but physically speaking, that's just not how i pictured Ig. I'll still check it out though because i really liked the book and Aja is awesome.
