Alex Garland\u2019s highly talked about spec script, The Toymaker\u2019s Secret<\/strong>, has been bought by TriStar Pictures. The haunted house project has Paloma Baeza set to direct. Baeza comes from a background in animation having won both a BAFTA and Annie award for her short Poles Apart <\/strong>which featured the voice of Helena Bonham Carter.<\/p>\n

According to Variety –<\/p>\n

The Toymaker\u2019s Secret tells the story of an American family who moves into an old Victorian home in London and begins to believe that it might be haunted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The trade also notes that while Garland\u2019s most recent films \u2013 Ex Machina<\/strong> and Annihilation<\/strong> which he also directed \u2013 The Toymaker\u2019s Secret<\/strong> will be more \u201cfamily-focused\u201d than his adult-oriented science fiction features.<\/p>\n

Fans of the writer\/directors work should know that this looks like the only big screen project of his for the foreseeable future. Garland recently received a pilot order from FX for the series Devs<\/em> which he had been developing. That show will also stay in the science-fiction realm, focusing on a computer engineer who begins to suspect that the cutting-edge tech company she works for may ve responsible for her boyfriend\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
