Lionsgate has secured the film rights to Christopher Golden's highly anticipated novel, 'Carry Me to My Grave.' This buzzy title is being developed as a project for Francis Lawrence, who is expected to direct and produce under his first-look deal with the studio. The supernatural thriller is scheduled for release on July 21 via St. Martin's Press.
'Carry Me to My Grave' tells the story of a man on a perilous quest to protect his deceased mother's body from a malevolent entity. Francis Lawrence, known for directing successful genre adaptations like 'I Am Legend' and the 'Hunger Games' franchise, is considered an ideal fit for this material.
Cameron Maconomy will produce alongside Lawrence, as will Scott Glassgold and his company 12:01 Films. Christopher Golden and Pete Donaldson are set to executive produce. Meredith Wieck and Pavan Kalidindi will oversee the project for Lionsgate. This acquisition adds to Golden's growing list of adapted works, with 'Road of Bones' and 'The House of Last Resort' also in development.
