Director and writer sign for Camille DeAngelis adaptation Bones & All

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Producer and literary agent Theresa Park has announced that SUSPIRIA remake screenwriter David Kajganich and Antonio Campos, director of multiple episodes of the TV series The Sinner (pictured above), are teaming up to bring an adaptation of the Camille DeAngelis novel BONES & ALL to the screen. Kajganich and Campos will also be producing the film with Park.

Published in 2016, DeAngelis's novel is a horrific coming-of-age character study that centers on 

a young woman managing a terrifying crisis of identity. The story follows 16-year-old Maren Yearly on a cross-country as she searches through dark, unseen corners of America to find a father she’s never met in an attempt to understand why she has killed a series of friends and acquaintances and why she will kill again.

Kajganich had this to say about the project: 

We’ve all become used to the status quo of jump-scare horror, but this is a story with something so disquieting, tense, and human at its center, it will give us the chance to engage the genre aggressively from the side of character. Camille’s book is a knockout, unlike anything we’ve read, and making this adaptation with Theresa and Antonio – two friends whose integrity and daring I love so much – means we will really be swinging for the fences."

That sounds good to me. I haven't read the novel, but I look forward to seeing how this adaptation is going to turn out. We'll keep you updated as more announcements are made about BONES & ALL.
