Actor Ethan Hawke will re-team with his “Sinister” director Scott Derrickson will direct and adapt Joe Hill’s novella “Black Phone” into a feature at Blumhouse and Universal Pictures.
Mason Thames (“For All Mankind”) and Madeleine McGraw (“Toy Story 4”) will star in the story of a young man abducted and locked in a basement that’s stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children.
In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead. Hawke will play the kidnapper.
Derrickson’s frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill co-wrote the script and both will produce with Jason Blum. Jeremy Davies, Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw co-star.
