DreamWorks Pictur𒁃es have snapped up the rights to Thomas Perry’s book about a female serial killer, called Nightlife.

DreamWorks honchos Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have wasted no time in getting professional scary-scribbler Ehren Kruger on board to tap out the adaptation. With a CV including Hollywood horror reworks of The Ring and The Ring 2, plus th🤡e Kate Hudson/ John Hurt voodoo heಌart-stopper The Skeleton Key, Kruger is more than up to the job.

The tale centres on a woman who changes her identity every time she snuffs someone but when a female detective ge⛦ts a little too clo🐟se for comfort, the relationship between cop and criminal becomes blurred.

Kruger (scary name too, eh?) is currently tapping the keys for David Fincher’s Torso which is ex🍸pected to arrive in cinemas sometime next year.
