Photographer and music video guy Carter Smith will direct the adaptation, with shooting set to commence in May. The story involves two twentysomething couples vacationing in Mexico, where they join some other tourists and capriciously head off into the jungle seeking an archeological dig site. Unfortunately, instead they encounter hostile villagers and an ancient threat.
*POSSIBLE SPOILER* — I can summarize THE RUINS for you in four words: “It was the vines.”
