PROJECT DETAILS:
This project is in the very early stages of development, as a script has yet to be written. (3/28/25)
Co-written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill and directed by Derrickson (the duo also worked together on Sinister and The Black Phone).
The story is set in Siberia along the Kolyma Highway, "a real highway that was built in Stalinist Soviet Union using the labor of prisoners from the region’s gulags. Lore has it that hundreds of thousands of inmates perished during the construction of the 2000 km road and due to the permafrost, it was judged easier to just built atop of the bodies."
Based on the novel with the same name from best-selling author Christopher Golden. The novel is described as a mix of folk and survival horror.
