And New Republic Pictures seems to have more clout now, after producing Sam Mendes' Oscar-winning war drama 1917. We'll have to see how things progress with the Horrorstör movie. But Horrorstör could end up a fun and unique comedy film, especially with the right director helming it (with the film's satirical leanings, Taika Waititi feels like a good choice). Horrorstör was actually set up initially to be a TV series in 2015, with Charlie Kaufman, Gail Berman and Josh Schwartz producing at Fox before the project moved to AMC, but it seems it has now been upgraded to a feature film. Brad Fischer and Brian Oliver of New Republic and Adam Goldworm of Aperture Entertainment are producing, with Brett Cohen of Quirk Books and Hendrix set to serve as executive producers Horrorstör's premise does seem like a perfect set-up for a comedy series - Superstore has already made the antics of big-box store employees into must-watch TV, so add a few "broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes" that point to supernatural hauntings, and it sounds like you've got a hit. "And Quirk is thrilled to partner with New Republic and Aperture Entertainment as Hendrix reimagines and further explores this story for a whole new audience." Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. " Horrorstör is such a fun and inventive blend of satire with a contemporary haunted house story that is so uniquely Grady Hendrix," added Brett Cohen, President and Publisher of Quirk Books. From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hilarious and terrifying haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting: a furniture superstore.
