New Line Cinema, the Warner Bros. division behind the hit horror movie It, is keeping its incisors lodged in the genre, having picked up the rights to the short Dutch horror film Sweet Tooth.
James Wan, the mastermind of New Lines billion dollar-grossing Conjuring horror universe, and Chris Bender, whose horror credits include Final Destination and The Butterfly Effect, are teaming to produce the feature adaptation.
Nico van den Brink, who wrote and directed the short, will direct the feature and have a "story by" credit. Van den Brink is an award-winning director who studied at the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Film Academy. He has helmed a number of short films and commercials, but Sweet Tooth will represent his first feature. The short, which premiered in July at Montreals Fantasia International Film Festival, centered on a woman who comes home to her large apartment tenement. Watching the news, she discovers that her neighbors a mother and her two kids have been killed, but then enters creep-zone territory when she begins to hear the laughter and running of the munchkins. New Line will next hire a writer to flesh out the shorts concept into a feature.
