Right Of Passage For Reeves

"Cloverfield" and "Let Me In" director Matt Reeves is set to helm "The Passage" says THR


Based on the bestselling book by Justin Cronin, the story a group of terminally ill cancer patients who become healthy when they are subjected to an experiment involving the bites from bats in South America.

The government starts further experimenting and end up creating a legion of nearly indestructible, telepathic vampire masters that begin infecting the populace. The tone is said to have a 28 Days Later...vibe.

Reeves will supervise a rewrite of a script adaptation already written by John Logan since he is too busy working on the script for Bond 23.

He recently inked a deal to also write and direct a film based on Ray Nelson's short story 8 O'Clock in the Morning that also inspired John Carpenter's cult classic 1988 flick They Live

'Passage' however will likely take precedence over everything else as it's already pretty far along.

I really liked what Reeves did with "In"  So I don't much mind that he's dipping into the Vamp well again as long as it's a good film in the end.
