Cast, Director Changes for Bret Easton Ellis-scripted Curse of Downer's Grove

Way back in 2010, we received word that Bret Easton Ellis was scripting an adaptation of Michael Hornberg's novel "Downer's Grove."  

The story, set at a seemingly "cursed" high school where a senior dies before the end of each school year, was to be directed by Prom Night's Nelson McCormick and star Hayden Panettiere, Nikki Reed and Rebecca De Mornay.

That was in 2010.  Variety now reports Derek Martini is directing The Curse of Downer's Grove from a script he's sharing co-writing credit and a new cast is being attached.
