Screen Gems and Vertigo Become 'Roommates'
Monday, July 21, 2008

Screen Gems has acquired Sonny Mallhi's spec thriller The Roommate in an unusual scenario. Mallhi, an exec VP at Vertigo, penned the screenplay under a pseudonym so it would be given fair consideration in the marketplace. It wasn't until after Screen Gems made an offer on "Roommate" that Mallhi revealed that he wrote the spec. Mallhi most recently exec produced "The Strangers" for Vertigo, who will produce the pic that centers on Sara, a college student randomly assigned to a freshman dorm with a stranger named Rebecca. They start off as friends but things turn deadly as Rebecca begins to target people in Sara's life.
