Knock at the Cabin Writers Tapped to Adapt Wilderness Reform

Wilderness Reform covers

The horror book Wilderness Reform by Matt Query and Harrison Query is getting adapted by Knock at the Cabin writers Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the duo—who worked with M. Night Shyamalan on adapting Paul Tremblay’s Cabin at the End of the World into the film Knock at the Cabin—have teamed up with producer Lindsey Beer, whose credits include writing and directing Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. The project is part of Beer’s first-look deal with Paramount.

Here’s the blurb for the book, per Goodreads:

Thirteen-year-old Ben is sent to a remote reform program for troubled teens by a juvenile court judge. But when he arrives at the camp, located on the edge of the vast wilderness of northwestern Montana, he immediately recognizes that there is something off about the counsellors. They’re too friendly and upbeat…yet Ben can tell there’s an undercurrent of menace.

As he gets to know the boys in his cabin, he soon discovers that they each have far more going for them than whatever crime landed them there. And each has a different critical skill, one that could help them unearth what is really going on in this place—and how to make it out alive. They are inching ever closer to the truth, and the hidden evil beneath the camp’s surface will make itself known in order to deter them.

The project is still in its early days, so no news yet on if/when the adaptation will go into production, much less make its way to a screen near you. icon-paragraph-end
