A feature adaptation of the bestselling horror video game created by Brian Clarke, The Mortuary Assistant, is in the works.
The game centers on “Rebecca Owens, a recent mortuary science graduate who takes a night shift job at River Fields Mortuary. Initially, the job seems straightforward — embalming bodies, completing paperwork, and keeping things tidy. But once Rebecca starts working the night shift, things take a dark turn.”
The film is said to be an expansion of the game’s lore and mythology.
It will star Willa Holland (Arrow) as Rebecca and Paul Sparks (House of Cards) as her boss, Raymond Delver.
The film hails from Epic Pictures and its specialty horror label Dread. Jeremiah Kipp directs from a script by Tracee Beebe and Brian Clarke.
Patrick Ewald’s Epic Pictures is producing via its horror outfit, Dread, alongside Cole Payne’s Traverse Media. The production is financed by Epic Pictures and the UK-based Creativity Capital.
Deadline first reported on the adaptation.
