Paranormal Activity 2 director Tod Williams looks for Those Across The River

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 director Tod “Kip” Williams is staying in spooky territory for his next feature, an adaptation of Christopher Buehlman’s THOSE ACROSS THE RIVER, which came out in September of this year. Based on the synopsis, it’s a river you don’t want to cross…


Failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife, Eudora, have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family’s old estate-the Savoyard Plantation- and the horrors that occurred there. At first, the quaint, rural ways of their new neighbors seem to be everything they wanted. But there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice.


It comes from the shadowy woods across the river, where the ruins of Savoyard still stand. Where a longstanding debt of blood has never been forgotten. A debt that has been waiting patiently for Frank Nichols’s homecoming…

I love a set up like this; let’s just hope the tale doesn’t end with a groaner ala THE VILLAGE.

Williams will pen the screenplay, while Akiva Goldsman’s Weed Road Pictures (JONAH HEX, HANCOCK) will produce.
