Warners buys spec from recent grads

Inside a competitive situation, Warner Bros. Pictures has bought the spec script "Hidden" from twin siblings and recent college graduates Matt and Ross Duffer, who're also set to direct the pic the studio is devoted to beginning as soon as 2012. Project is definitely an elevated horror-thriller in regards to a family hiding inside a explosive device shelter after getting away a mysterious outbreak. Roy Lee, Mason Novick and Lawrence Gray will produce, while John Middleton and Sebastian Aloi will professional produce. Deal consists of progress-to-production language, showing the project is anticipated to begin production the coming year instead of languish in development. Jon Berg will oversee the work for Warners. The Duffers, lately graduated from Chapman College, are repped by Paradigm. Contact Shaun Sneider at shaun.sneider@variety.com
