Maybe fourth (or fifth) time’s finally the charm. A comic series that later turned into an acclaimed graphic novel, “Black Hole,” has famously topped Hollywood’s wish list in terms of live-action adaptations. No lesser names than French filmmaker\u00a0Alexandre Aja,\u00a0Rick Famuyiwa, and even David Fincher have been attached to direct<\/a>\u00a0an adaptation at one point or another over the last two decades. But despite the gravitational pull of development hell, some material proves that it can just keep defying death, over and over again.\u00a0That appears to be the case here, as Netflix is now teaming up with one of our most exciting talents for another crack at it.<\/p>\n Deadline<\/a> reports that the streaming giant has become the latest to land the rights to “Black Hole,” which it’s already greenlit with a straight-to-series order \u2014 and it’s bringing along a marquee name to take charge.\u00a0Jane Schoenbrun, the director behind the 2021 indie darling “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair”<\/a> and last year’s unforgettable “I Saw the TV Glow,”<\/a> is now taking a stab at this story. From the premise alone, it’s easy to see why “Black Hole” would inspire so much interest among the biggest names in the business. Deadline lays out the synopsis accordingly:<\/p>\n There’s an old myth that haunts the seemingly perfect small town of Roosevelt: if you have sex too young, you’ll contract the “bug,” a virus that literally turns you into a “monster” from your worst nightmares. Absurd, right? That’s what Chris always assumed, until, after one reckless night at the beginning of senior year, she finds herself infected. Now she’ll be cast out to the woods to live with the other infected, where a chilling, new threat emerges: a serial killer who’s hunting them one-by-one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
