Variety is reporting that Alcon Entertainment (the company behind the upcoming ONE MISSED CALL remake) has just bought a spec script entitled STRANGE MAGIC, from writer Adam Torchia. This is the scribe’s first sale.
The story concerns a supernatural crime fighter battling the occult in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.
Honestly, from that brief description, it sounds like nothing we haven’t seen before. Who knows if Torchia has added some significant pep to the idea, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Otherwise it just sounds like CONSTANTINE 2.
