Scarlett Johansson’s These Pictures and David Jonsson’s greyarea are reportedly developing a film adaptation of I Am the River, T.E. Grau’s Vietnam War horror novel. The news comes from Daniel Richtman, who shared the project on Patreon.
In the final days of the Vietnam War, American soldier Israel Broussard joins a covert CIA mission in Laos. His unit’s orders are to terrify the enemy. Five years later, Broussard is living in Bangkok, and he’s the one seeing things. A vicious black dog he calls Black Shuck stalks his visions, and a river threatens to swallow him. To find out what followed him out of the jungle, he has to go back.
Lethe Press published I Am the River in 2018. It earned Grau a Bram Stoker Award nomination for Superior Achievement in a First Novel.
