If you're a fan of Guillermo del Toro, PAN'S LABYRINTH and THE ORPHANAGE, you're going to jump up and down when you hear this announcement. It was revealed that ORPHANAGE director Antonio Bayona will be taking the helm of the del Toro produced Hater, an adaptation of David Moody's novel that's being penned by Glen Mazzara. The film is being released under del-Toro's first-look deal with Universal Pictures. The thriller is about an epidemic of random violence in which ordinary people strike lethally without warning or remorse.
J.A. Bayona is a great director. Though I don't know why Guillermo del Toro is around him, maybe he wants to learn from Bayona. The Orphanage was really good.
This is awesome news. Although there's been a lot of these random onset of violence movies (The Signal, The Happening, and somewhat Blindness) being released lately, with these two working on it I definitely have high hopes.
reminded me of the Condemned games. the book probrably came first though.
