Wentworth Miller to Adapt Scare Me

Remember that guy who starred in Prison Break?  Turns out he’s a pretty good writer.  Stoker, the first film he wrote, came out this year to some generally positive reviews.  In fact, we have a review you can read right here.

Hot off the buzz surrounding that film, Wentworth Miller has secured another writing gig. This time he’s adapting a psychological thriller novel named “Scare Me.”   Deadline reveals that the novel is similar to such works like “Se7en” and will be published this spring.  Here’s a longer description of the book:

“When did you last google yourself?”

Wealthy businessman, Will Frost, gets woken in the middle of the night by an anonymous caller, asking him exactly this.

When Will goes online, he finds a website has been set up in his name, showing photographs of the inside of his home, along with photographs of six houses he’s never seen before.

In the first of these strange houses, a gruesome murder has already taken place.

Will is then told that his own family is in mortal danger.

The only way he can keep them safe is to visit each of the houses on the website in person – before the police discover what has happened there.

Seven houses.

Seven gruesome homicides.

Seven chances to save his daughter’s life…

Scare Me is tale of modern urban terror, for anyone who’s ever worried that someone might one day use the internet to track them down and cause them and their family harm…
