Oscar-winning “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” co-director Peter Ramsey is headed to live-action as he will take the helm of the period vampire thriller “Blood Count” at Paramount Pictures and SpringHill.
The project is dubbed a film noir social thriller set in 1950s Los Angles with supernatural elements. The project is also loosely inspired by the life of Ramsey’s jazz musician father.
Ramsey reportedly wrote the script as a spec and will direct the feature which is in the early development stage. LeBron James, Jamal Henderson and Spencer Beighley will produce.
Ramsey is also developing the biopic of Blues pioneer Robert Johnson titled “Love in Vain” which is also set up at Paramount and has Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Mike Menchel and Lionel Richie producing.
