This Smash Hit Jo Nesbo Novel Is Getting a Horror Movie Adaptation

Hang on to your hats, everyone, a new Jo Nesbø adaptation is officially in the works. A new report from Deadline revealed that Nesbø’s hit novel, The Night House, is the latest in a long line to receive a film adaptation, which is currently eyeing a production start next spring. Nesbø will team up with Frederik Wikström, who recently received a producing credit for working with Tom Hanks on A Man Called Otto, to adapt the film. The Night House is a horror story set in a small town in America in the mid 1980s (need we say more?) that follows Richard, a recently orphaned boy who is sent to live with his relatives in the remote town of Ballantyne. Everything changes for Richard when, one day, he witnesses one of his classmates get sucked through the phone receiver after participating in a prank call.
