THE ORPHANAGE Director’s Next Will Be HATER

One of the major highlights of being here at the Sitges Festival, just outside Barcelona, has been the chance to meet and get to know a lot of the local talent, all of whom have proven to be just stellar people.  And one who I’ve been able to talk with a fair bit is J.A. Bayona, the director of huge international and critical hit The Orphanage (El Orfanato).  When asked if he was working on something new earlier this week Bayona would only nod, smile and say yes but that he’d have to wait until it was announced in the trades before he could talk about it.  Well, it’s in the trades.

Today Variety announced that Bayona would be directing an adaptation of David Moody’s novel Hater, the story of an ‘epidemic of violence’ spreading through otherwise normal people.  Once again Guillermo Del Toro will serve as Bayona’s producer and word is the film will be shot in both America and Spain.  Expect to hear more on this just as soon as I’m able to pin him down.
