Paramount TV Studios is sinking its fangs into a series adaptation of vampire novel ‘Coffin Moon’ with Jessica Biel.
It has been a while since Jessica Biel (pictured above in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake) has been involved with a horror film, at least as far as I can recall. But that’ll change soon, as Deadline reports that Paramount Television Studios is sinking its fangs into a series adaptation of Keith Rosson’s vampire novel Coffin Moonwith Jessica Biel and Michelle Purple’s Iron Ocean.
Noah Harpster and Micah Fitzerman-Blue (Painkiller) will develop, write, and showrun the project.
Rosson will serve as a consulting producer.
Set during a brutal winter in 1975 in Oregon, Coffin Moon follows a veteran and his adopted niece as they hunt—and are hunted by—the vampire that slaughtered their family.
Vampire revenge western? Put a stake in my heart; I’m done (and seated).
Biel made an impact in the horror genre early in her career, most notably starring in the well-regarded Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. She also appeared in films such as Blade: Trinity, The Tall Man, and Hitchcock. While it doesn’t sound like she’ll star in Coffin Moon, it’s fun to have her back and staking a claim in horror once again.
