Today’s Variety brings the announcement that Gold Circle Films is keeping their “Haunting in…” franchise going with HAUNTING IN NEW YORK, which follows 2008’s successful HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT and the still-in-pre-production HAUNTING IN GEORGIA. Sean Hood (CUBE 2) has written the screenplay.
Yes, I say “has written” instead of “will write” because it turns out Hood recently completed the script. I know this because Mr. Hood was kind enough to send me a note and point me in the direction of his official blog, which contains some story details about this new HAUNTING installment – details which aren’t included in the Variety article:
“There really was a beautiful but mute teenaged girl in a wheelchair who saw visions of angels and demons; there really was a family harassed and stalked by a presence that seemed drawn to her, and these “events” really did culminate in a disturbing exorcism. What matters to me, in adapting this story, is not whether it can be scientifically proven to be “true,” but that the people themselves believe it was true and that the experience changed the course of their lives. The universal fears that are exposed in such a situation are so raw and authentic that they speak to archetypal “Truths“ that, for me at least, transcend skepticism.”
To read more from Hood on his approach to the story, and to “the truth”, head on over HERE.
