In 2015 a creepy-ass stalker who called himself The Watcher, terrorized a family forcing them to move out of their dream home. Now, Hollywood is looking to cash in on this true life horror story and at the same time help the family that was affected.
There were six major studios locked in a bidding war for the feature film rights to this story and Netflix ended up winning. This is apparently one of the biggest material deals that has been made in Hollywood this year.
According to Deadline, “Netflix will pay seven figures for a rights package that includes an article by Reeves Wiedeman published on New York Magazine’s website The Cut, and the rights of the beleaguered homeowners who’ve lived this nightmare for four years.”
Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (Paranormal Activity 3 and 4) are attached to direct. You can read all about the true story...
