Zach Cregger’s Siren Head Movie Lands a Warner Bros. Backing Deal
Zach Cregger’s horror career is getting a new entry: a film adaptation of Siren Head, based on the internet-famous creepypasta. With more horror projects stacking up, the creature’s rise from viral scare to big-screen threat is now officially in motion.
How Siren Head is moving from creepypasta to theaters
Film coverage has confirmed that Siren Head is the newest creepypasta to receive a Hollywood treatment. Warner Bros. secured the rights in a high-value agreement reported as a million-dollar deal, beating out five other studios for the opportunity.
Who’s writing and directing the Siren Head movie
Weapons’ Zach Cregger will be heavily involved in the adaptation. He’s scheduled to co-write the screenplay with Brian Duffield, who is known for his work on Whalefall, a survival-focused film that’s generating major anticipation. Duffield is also set to direct Siren Head.
Who’s producing the adaptation
On the production side, Cregger will produce the movie alongside Roy Lee and Andrew Childs through Vertigo Entertainment. Vertigo is also credited with producing Cregger’s horror film Weapons, and that project is set to be joined by Scott Glassgold from 12:01 Films.
