Unstable Ground to produce film adaptation of Douglas Borton’s Kane

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Canadian production company Unstable Ground has picked up the rights to Douglas Borton’s 1990 horror novel KANE, according to a press release. Justin McConnell (THE COLLAPSED) and Serena Whitney co-write and co-produce, while genre vets Adam Mason (LUSTER) and George Mihalka (MY BLOODY VALENTINE) serve as consulting producers.

I’ve never heard of the book before today, but here’s the intriguing synopsis:

Kane is a force of nature. Walking out of the desert into the dying town of Tuskett, which only 23 people still call home, he has only one purpose: to kill every resident. Relentless, stealthy, and without mercy, Kane won’t stop until every last man, woman and child is nothing but a memory. Soon the surviving townspeople must band together to fight this seemingly-unstoppable evil, or die trying. Brutal, action- packed, and most importantly, character-driven, Kane is a thrilling story of survival at any cost.

A director has not yet been named, but we’ll be keeping tabs on this project as it moves forward.
