Weinstein Co. has acquired "Evilseek," a supernatural thriller that Wayne Kramer ("The Cooler", "Running ScareD") wrote and will both produce and direct. Thomas Jane is set to star reports Variety.

Jane will play a cop so demoralized by the handiwork of a serial killer that he commits suicide. Satan uses the cop's body as a vessel, inheriting a disgruntled ex-wife, a promiscuous 15-year-old daughter, a lesbian partner and some of the cop's dogged determination to catch the killer.

Kramer has committed to make the film his next directing assignment with plans to shoot later this year. Jane just completed the John Madden-directed "Killshot" for WeinsteinCo.
