Found on Sci-Fi Wire...It is our own John Rogers!
Core Scribe Adapts Frame
Video-game distributor Tecmo announced that screenwriter John Rogers (The Core, Catwoman) is adapting the Japanese horror game Fatal Frame into a theatrical film for DreamWorks. "I was attracted to the idea of doing a classic, old-school haunted house picture," Rogers said in a press release. "By focusing, too, on cool Japanese cultural additions and different ghost mythos most North American audiences are unfamiliar with, we can do something unique. None of the rules about the supernatural, the characters or our audience apply in the Fatal Frame world."
The popular game centers around a female photographer whose camera can take pictures of ghosts. No decisions have been made as to who will star or direct the film adaptation. A sequel to the game, entitled Fatal Frame: Crimson Butterfly, is set for release in November.
