Scott Derrickson Set To Direct ‘The Black Phone’ For Blumhouse

We have learned that Scott Derrickson is set to direct an adaptation of Joe Hill’s The Black Phone for Blumhouse.

Derrickson will direct and produce the film with C. Robert Cargill set to write the screenplay and also produce. Cargill has been a longtime collaborator with Derrickson, as they have previously worked on Sinister, Sinister 2, and Doctor Strange.

It is expected that Derrickson & Cargill will follow the original short story for their film adaptation. It is unknown when production will begin or when the film will be released, partially due to COVID-19 and the fact that Derrickson has a very busy schedule with his 2 other upcoming films.

Jason Blum will produce the film through Blumhouse who have been continuing to work very hard during the COVID-19 pandemic. °°°

So will this be another one of his films where he mistakes cranking up the sound mix too much for ambiance?

Cinemacon Footage Descript..

[Show spoiler]

Ethan Hawke takes the screen, recalling his work with Scott Derrickson on Sinister. He was happy to reunite with him for The Black Phone and he explains that it has scared him simply in the script. The first look at the film is introduced. Description below!

Kids debate whether or not a legend of a missing kid is true. Ethan Hawke emerges from a can, dropping groceries and his hat, laughing in front of a kid. He's a "art time magician." His face has white paint on it. He asks, "Woud you like to see a magic trick?" Cut to the kid's school and the kids are informed that Finney Blake has been abducted. In a basement, the boy tries to use a black phone but is greeted by Hawke's character in a white devil mask. He is unbothered and not worried about the kid attempting to defend himself. He gets a call later and another boy declares," Don't hang up," as his bloodied ghost spirit stands beside him. The kids who were previously victims of this man are trying to help him escape. His friend, outside, tries to find him. Bottles are launched from nothing across the room, shattering on the wall around the boy still locked in the creepy, dark, brown basement. The spirits over the phone encourage the boy to use the phone as a weapon. He has to stand up for himself and he tries to leave, right out the front door, but there is a lock. The man wakes up, with his eye showing through the mask. π

I don't doubt the film is terrifying. Sinister scared the living feces out of me.
