MGM Purchases Horror Thriller Bed Rest
Toiling away on their computers, day in and day out, it’s the writers who are largely responsible for our favorite horror films, and we’re happy to report today that a newcomer has sold her very first script. We don’t yet have all that much information, but here’s what we’ve got.
Per Deadline, MGM has acquired Bed Rest, the first script deal for rookie screenwriter Lori Evans Taylor (below). The site says that this was a competitive situation with interest from multiple studios.
The spec script is a Hitchcockian thriller in the vein of Rear Window and What Lies Beneath, centering on a pregnant woman who is isolated and confined to bed rest.
Karen Rosenfelt is producing with Chris Sparling, the writer behind Buried and the upcoming Matthew McConaughey-Gus Van Sant film Sea of Trees.
