Matt Reeves to direct new vampire film The Passage
Obviously, this won't be Matt Reeves first movie dealing with vampires as he was the film-maker behind last years quality film Let Me In. The biggest difference will apparently be one of scale. Where Let Me In was a quiet character study the scope of The Passage is said to be more akin to the epic horror films like Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, I Am Legend etc.
Even though Reeves is attached to other movies expect this one to happen sooner rather than later. Fox seems to think they have a potential winning franchise on there hands here; as shown by ther investment of nearly $4 million for the rights to The Passage before the manuscript was even done and a deal already in place for the planned book sequels.
So does this sound like the kind of property you guys are interested in? Is Matt Reeves a good fit for this material or should he be taking his career in a different direction? Let me know what you think.
