David Gordon Green Helming Freaks

October 21, 2008


Overture Films has hired David Gordon Green to direct the horror thriller Freaks of the Heartland, written by new screenwriters Peter Sattler and Geoff Davey. The company recently purchased the rights to the Dark Horse graphic novel written by Steve Niles.

Green and Dark Horse Entertainment president Mike Richardson are producing. Niles, who also wrote "30 Days of Night," is executive producing.

Illustrated by Greg Ruth, Niles' six-part 2004 series about the horrible secret of a rural Middle American town involves Trevor Owen's attempts to protect his "monster" of a 6-year-old younger brother and Gristlewood Valley's other "freaks" from their parents' worst instincts.

Green most recently directed Pineapple Express and Snow Angels.

From the same writer of "30 Days of Night."

So this is going to be boring too?

What does this mean for David's "Suspiria" remake?

FREAKS OF THE HEARTLAND is Niles best book EVER. Hopefully Green can translate the beauty of that book onto the big screen. Can't wait!

The 30 DAYS movie got screwed when they made the vampires spout ****ty Anne Rice dialogue - in Russian. Hopefully we will be spared such idiocy with this film.
