'The Conjuring' Fame James Wan Joins 'Gideon Falls' TV Adaptation

James Wan is seemingly everywhere. The man continues to add one major franchise after the other to his already illustrious resume. From The Conjuring to The Fast and the Furious to Aquaman, Wan has now finalised his upcoming project too.

According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Wan and his Atomic Monster production company have joined Hivemind in bringing the Image Comics title Gideon Falls to television. Hivemind acquired the title, created by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, back in July last year after a bidding war surrounding the property.

In a statement, Hivemind co-founders Kathy Lingg, Dinesh Shamdasani and Jason Brown said, "To have a filmmaker of James Wan's caliber, talent, and vision contributing to the atmospheric and terrifying world that Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino have created with Gideon Falls is nothing short of incredible. This is a high-powered and formidable combination for one of the most acclaimed comic series of the decade, and James and his colleagues at Atomic Monster — Michael Clear and Rob Hackett — are the perfect partners to help bring our adaptation to life. Fans of Gideon Falls, rest assured: We have some incredible surprises yet in store."

Wan and Atomic Monster’s Michael Clear will join Hivemind’s Lingg, Shamdasani, Brown and Sean Daniel, and Gideon Falls creators Lemire and Sorrentino, as executive producers on the series, which is being developed as an hourlong drama.
