The ’80s delivered audiences a number of genre films that struggled with visual effects limitations, resulting in stories with lots of potential failing to be brought to life as effectively as they could, which includes the adaptation of F. Paul Wilson’s novel The Keep back in 1983. Luckily, the author recently took to Twitter to confirm that there is expected to be another adaptation of the book on the way, this time with Greg Nicotero at the helm. As proven with projects like The Walking Dead and Shudder’s Creepshow, Nicotero looks to be the perfect choice to honor the thrilling and fantastical elements of the book.
THE KEEP – 2 days ago, after a year and a half of lawyering between the “purchaser” and my side at ICM, I signed an option/purchase agreement with Greg Nicotero for the remake of The Keep. Greg is a longtime fan of the book and he’s got the chops to do a worthy adaptation.
