Universal Pictures moves forward with Dark Horse's The Secret.
{sidebar id=1}Sources buried deep inside HOllywood have revealed to the IESB that the Dark Horse Horror Comic Book "The Secret" has been option and is currently in development at Universal Pictures.
Scott Milam, who is writing Bedlam for RKO Pictures, has been hired to pen the screenplay.
Published in February 2007, The Secret is a chilling coming-of-age mystery from Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson and Eisner-nominated artist Jason Alexander (Damn Nation; The Escapists).
The Secret tells the story of Tommy Morris who has been invited to party with the social elite of Franklin High and maybe even hook up with the girl of his dreams. But when a prank call turns sour, Tommy gets much more than he bargained for.
Universal Pictures is also developing Emily The Strange and The Umbrella Academy under the Dark Horse first look deal, a three-year production and distribution agreement that establishes a studio home for all of Dark Horses creative properties.
Stay tuned to the IESB for the latest movie news.
