Producers Daniel Alter and Howard Sun are teaming with new screenwriter Sharon Scott to develop her script, The Secret Drawer Society, into a feature focused on the supernatural, reports Variety.
The project, in the vein of The Goonies, revolves around the practice at East Coast inns of guests leaving behind letters — often accounts of encounters with ghosts — for future occupants to find. Scott’s script follows two sisters and their friends seeking to unravel the mysteries surrounding a hidden treasure.
Scott is a Disney animation veteran and former independent comic book publisher. Alter and Sun are working with her to develop the script into a line of comic books (see below) and a children’s animated series with the goal of creating awareness prior to release of the live-action film.
Alter is developing Isis, based on the Image comic book series, at Paramount in association with Grammnet Prods., and Hitman, with Vin Diesel attached to star, at Fox.
