Wes Craven's New Movie

Rogue Pictures announced today that thriller master Wes Craven is writing a new psychological thriller for the division of Focus Features. The only details revealed are that it is set in a small town and based on Craven's own concept.

Craven formed Midnight Entertainment to produce films for himself and other filmmakers, and this collaboration with Rogue marks the beginning of a two-year first look deal with the studio. However, Craven's own projects are separate from the first-look deal.

This sounds like good news. Craven writing his own films have turned out classics like <I>Nightmare on Elm Street</I>, my personal favorite <I>The People Under the Stairs</I> and the fun <I>Shocker</I>. Perhaps he has another new social observation with which he'll torment us on film.
