RAMBO Creator's Horror Novel CREEPERS is Being Adapted Into a Film By Lionsgate

Lionsgate and Suretone Pictures are teaming up to develop a film adaptation of the horror adventure novel Creepers. The book was written by David Morrell, the creator of Rambo and author of First Blood, and the other books in the Rambo franchise.

Creepers is the story of a group of young urban explorers who “plan to investigate an old, boarded up, seemingly abandoned hotel, only to encounter danger at every turn in the form of a competing group of hostile urban explorers seeking to find a legendary hidden treasure as well as a supernatural being who wreaks havoc on all.”

The movie is being helmed by music video and commercial director Marc Klasfeld, and it will be shot in Bulgaria this summer.

Jordan Schur, Chairman and CEO of Suretone Pictures, said in a statement: “I am pleased to partner on this special film with Lionsgate. After a decade in development, we have arrived at our destination with a powerful script adapted from a timeless book and a gifted director leading the charge. We could not ask for a better partner in Lionsgate who share our passion and excitement to bring the world this amazing roller-coaster of a story.”

Lionsgate’s Executive VP of Acquisitions Eda Kowan, said: “We are excited to work with Jordan and the team at Suretone along with Marc Klasfeld to bring this supernatural adventure thriller to audiences everywhere.”

Marc Klasfeld said: “I have waited decades to find the right feature film project to which I could truly dedicate myself. The passion I have found to make Creepers all it can be is extraordinary, and I honestly can’t wait for the world to see what we have in store.”

This sounds like my kind of film! I enjoy watching these kinds of movies and I’ll be looking forward to this. I just hope it ends up being as good as it sounds. I also just love the fact that this story comes from the creator of Rambo!
