Universal Pictures and Stephen Sommers (beloved for DEEP RISING and parts of THE MUMMY) are turning Dean Lorey’s series of books NIGHTMARE ACADEMY into at least one movie, and they’ve just brought on a writer: David Reynolds.
Reynolds doesn’t have much of an interesting track record (to us anyway), having written Disney flicks CHICKEN LITTLE, A BUG’S LIFE and FINDING NEMO (although that one is pretty damn good) – but considering that the books were written by one of the screenwriters of JASON GOES TO HELL, I’m sure this will be a bit more interesting than your usual kiddie fare.
Built from wrecked ships set in the branches of the world’s most incredible tree fort, the Nightmare Academy trains people to use their unique gifts to fight the monsters that rush in when the lights go out.
Sounds aight. We’ll keep you posted on further developments, as always.
Oh and hey! HAPPY OCTOBER 1!
