Australian director Jamie Blanks (attached to Resident Evil and director
of Urban Legend) is about to start work on a romantic horror film. "VALENTINE: A Novel" is the title of the piece
The book tells the story of an unpopular college freshman geek named
Victor DiMorta. Four young women pull a vicious practical joke on DiMorta
which results in his being expelled as well as becoming murderous and doing
in his abusive parents. Years later, after having served his time in prison,
the grown Victor gets plastic surgery that makes him handsome. He then seeks
out the women who ruined his life to exact his revenge. Doesn't sound
too romantic to me, sounds more like a REVENGE film. Which is cool. Warner
Bros. is producing the film with hopes at casting the next best teen actors,
and the script was written by Donna and Wayne Powers. With Re-writes by
Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg. (CSO) (HFA NEWS) |
