I don’t know about you, but I remember chain letters being huge when I was about nine or ten years old. You know how they go: You get a letter, it tells you a story of some sort, then advises you to pass the letter on to a certain number of friends or have bad luck.
People rarely ever take these letters (or in today’s technology based society, e-mails) seriously, but next year we may feel more inclined to do so.
New Films has picked up the rights to Chain Letter, a horror film by Deon Taylor that follows a serial killer who targets teenagers who don’t follow through on forwarding chain letters.
Chain Letter, which will star Nikki Reed, Betsy Russell, and Brad Dourif, is already being looked at as a franchise possibility. The film will be released next year, produced by Todd Slater through Slater Brothers Entertainment.
