Author Stephenie Meyer is preparing for cinematic immortality beyond her wildly popular Twilight films.
Meyer and Megan Hibbett’s Fickle Fish Films have optioned the young adult thriller Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan to be made into a feature film. The 1974 novel concerns a student sent to a boarding school haunted by evil ghosts. Wyck Godfrey, a producer on the Twilight films, is in talks to produce.
Meyers’ fans have a lot of trips to the theater to look forward to in the coming years. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 will close out the Twilight series on November 16, and an adaptation of Meyers’ alien novel The Host will invade theaters in 2013. Meyer is also a producer of Austenland, a romantic comedy directed by Napoleon Dynamite helmer Jared Hess, about a woman who hunts for her soul mate at a Jane Austen themed amusement park.
