Margot Robbie’s production company LuckyChap Entertainment has partnered up with Wattpad Webtoon Studios to develop a live action movie of Stagtown. The movie will be based on the Wattpad Webtoon horror series.
“Punko’s Stagtown has captured the obsession of the internet with its imaginative horrors and addictive mystery,” Wattpad Webtoon Studios executive Jason Goldberg said in a statement. “We’re beyond thrilled to partner with LuckyChap, who tackle adaptations with singular filmmakers and undeniably bold ambition. We also couldn’t be more excited to bring the scares of Stagtown to life with Benjamin Brewer, an artist with an ingenious take on the source material that will make a generation-defining horror movie.”
The live action film will be written and directed by Benjamin Brewer, who was a VFX artist on A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once. “Beloved by fans for its nightmare-inducing plot and eerie artwork, the film will follow Frankie, Jeremy, and Felix as they discover something is terribly wrong in the town of Stagtown and attempt to escape the horrors that the residents spend every day ignoring,” reads the initial synopsis via Variety.
