After making an auspicous debut with the claustrophobic Ryan Reynolds thriller Buried, Rodrigo Cortés delivered a wholly disappointing follow-up in the form of Red Lights, a weak alien invasion pic that completely fell apart in its final act. Here’s hoping that the director’s next effort gets him back in our good graces – Lionsgate announced today that it has set Cortés to helm Down a Dark Hall, based on the 1974 Ya novel from I Know What You Did Last Summer author Lois Duncan.
The book, which was initially scripted by Michael Goldbach and is now getting a rewrite by Chris Sparling, is Duncan’s only supernatural thriller. It follows a girl named Kit, who begins to attend the exclusive Blackwood Boarding School but is immediately disturbed by a sense of evil that pervades the place.

Though the author doesn't have much street cred with The Twilight Saga and their feature film adaptations not spanning much beyond a tween audience and a variety of female demographics, you can't deny that Stephenie Meyer is still a successful author, even if she isn't a very good one. Her sci-fi novel The Host is already heading to the big screen, but that won't be the last film to come with Meyer's name involved.

With the final installment of the "Twilight" franchise fast approaching, it's time for the woman who started it all, scribe Stephenie Meyer, to think about what she'll do with herself in a post-Edward world. And, apparently, what she really wants to do is direct produce.
According to Variety, Meyer has partnered up with Meghan Hibbett's Fickle Fish Films to option Lois Duncan's young adult suspense novel "Down A Dark Hall," to produce as a feature film. The tale, which was first released back in 1974 (you see, Ya fiction is not a new concept!), focuses on the tragic past of Blackwood boarding school and its mysterious students.
At the center of the tale is new student Kit Gordy, who must unravel Blackwood's history before it's too late. Too late for what? We don't know, but it sounds exciting.
