Before The Ring movie franchise was made the frightening tale was born in Koji Suzuki‘s novel. Now, another film adaptation of Suzuki’s is headed our way from 2000’s Requiem for a Dream and The wrestler director Darren Aronofsky.
Aronofsky is reteaming with Requiem for a Dream star Jared Leto for Adrift, the adaptation of Suzuki’s short story.
The story “is set in the dead calm of the open sea, where a fishing boat discovers an abandoned yacht with a strange distress call. A deckhand agrees to take lone control of it while it’s towed into port, but soon he discovers why the rest of his more experienced crew members call it a Ghost Ship.” Deadline reports.
Luke Dawson is writing the script along with Aranosky for the film that will be produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum.
Leto can also be seen in the upcoming MCU’s vampire horror Morbius which has been hit with several delays, with the most recent release date being listed for January 21, 2022.
