Those sadistic sickos Dunstan and Melton are back at it…
Deadline has it that the horror writing duo Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (SAW 4-7, THE COLLECTOR) have been hired by Legendary Pictures to rewrite WATERPROOF, a supernatural thriller. It will mark the second rewrite for Legendary, behind doing touch up work on del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM.
WATERPROOF centers on a teen boy who accidentally unleashes monsters on his small town after finding an order form in an old comic book.
Not bad, not bad, and certainly a departure of sorts from the torture based stuff the scribes are known for. Can’t fault them for branching out, if only a little. Of course, who directs will largely determine the overall quality, no names are in the running that we know about. Neither are any actors for that matter.
All in due time…
