New Gold Circle Period Piece Battles the Occult

Ahhhh, Gold Circle Films, what's going on guys? The company has more than a dozen horror films in development hell and others (like Whisper) are sitting on studio shelves collecting thick amounts of dust. I was going through our database last night and couldn't believe how many cool projects are under their belt, now if only they'd come into fruition. Today the company acquired another bad-ass project, Thomas Wheeler's fantasy-adventure The Arcanum, out of turnaround from Miramax. Read on for details.


Gold Circle Films has picked up feature rights to Thomas Wheeler's fantasy-adventure "The Arcanum" out of turnaround from Miramax, according to Variety.

"The Arcanum," Wheeler's debut novel, is set in 1919 and follows the titular secret society comprising the era's leading occult investigators -- Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini, H.P. Lovecraft and Marie Laveau -- as they battle demons descending on New York City, including a serial killer of angels.

Gold Circle topper Paul Brooks told Daily Variety that the banner's going out to directors. "We see this as a potential franchise property," he added.

Miramax optioned the property in 1999 preemptively along with the publishing rights, with Bobby Cohen producing and Warren Zide and Craig Perry exec producing. The novel was published in 2004 by Bantam.

Wheeler ("Supernova") also penned the screenplay.
