By Adnan Tezer Nov 8, 2010, 20:34 GMT
Oren Peli, the director of the original "Paranormal Activity," will direct the horror film "Eliza Graves" for Sobini Films and Icon Productions.
According to Variety, Joe Gangemi wrote the screenplay, loosely based on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe.
The film centers on a Harvard Medical School graduate in the early 20th century who takes a job at an insane asylum, only to realize that it has been overtaken by the inmates. Through his stay there he tries to bring order to the asylum and falls in love with one of his patients, Eliza Graves.
Sobini's Mark Amin, David Higgins and Cami Winikoff are producing alongside Icon's Bruce Davey and Mel Gibson.
Over the years Jodie Foster was interested in directing the film, while Ian McKellan and Natalie Portman had been mentioned as possible actors.
Peli recently directed the upcoming alien thriller "Area 51" for Paramount.
