Variety is reporting that Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions and Fox 2000 will produce Jordan Ainsley's yet to be published vampire thriller The Passage. John Logan (Gladiator) will write the adaptation; Scott may direct.
Jordan Ainsley (a pseudonym of Justin Cronin) sold the three book series to Ballantine in 2007 for $3.75 million. A film deal awaited the completion of the first book, The Passage, which is believed to run some 1200 pages.
Book synopsis: Terminally ill patients become healthy after they are bitten by bats in South America, and the government conducts secret tests on human subjects to see if the virus can cure illness. The result is an apocalyptic unleashing of bloodthirsty vampire test subjects that include death row inmates.
