| Synopsis/Plot: | In the tiny village called Wall, things are not quite what they seem... In the sleepy English countryside of decades past, there is a town that has stood on a jut of granite for six hundred years. And immediately to the east stands a high stone wall, for which the village is named. Here in the town of Wall, Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester. One crisp October night, he makes a rash promise that sends Tristran through the only gap in the wall, across the meadow, and into the most unforgettable adventure of his life. |
| News and Rumors: |
May 8, 2006: Roger Avery and Neil Gaiman are writing Black Hole, a horror romance story that Alexandre Aja will direct for Paramount Pictures, says The Hollywood Reporter. MTV Films, Plan B and Kevin Messick are producing. Black Hole is a 12-issue comic book painstakingly written and illustrated by Charles Burns over a 10-year period that deals with fear of adulthood, sex and ostracism. When the work was finally completed last year, it was collected into a graphic novel, which garnered great acclaim and was in Entertainment Weekly's top 10 works of fiction for the year. The story follows a group of high school students whose lives are altered drastically when they come in contact with a sexually transmitted disease called the "teen plague" or "the bug."
January 26, 2006: In a Variety article talking about Paramount Pictures' upcoming film slate, a new project is mentioned: Studio also is skewing younger, snapping up such projects as Charles Burns' just-published graphic horror novel "Black Hole," in which freakish deformities infect sexually active teens. Par's signed Alexandre Aja ("The Hills Have Eyes") to direct and set it up with MTV Films and Brad Pitt's Plan B with Aja and partner Gregory Levasseur producing.
