Alexandre Aja has been tapped to helm MTV Films new horror romance called Black Hole. Here is the press release with all the info, from Cinema Confidential...
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Roger Avery and Neil Gaiman are writing "Black Hole," a horror romance story that Alexandre Aja will direct for Paramount Pictures. MTV Films, Plan B and Kevin Messick are producing.
The movie is based on the 12-issue comic book written and illustrated by Charles Burns over a 10-year period that deals with fear of adulthood, sex and ostracism. The comic was finished last year and turned into a graphic novel.
The story follows a group of high school students whose lives are altered drastically when they come in contact with a sexually transmitted disease called the "teen plague" or "the bug."
