The Black Phone director Scott Derrickson shares a negative update on his long-gestating horror movie adapted from a Stephen King novella.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Stephen King adaptation The Breathing Method has gotten a grim development update. The movie, which was previously with director Scott Derrickson attached, is an adaptation of the Stephen King novella of the same name, originally published as part of the 1982 collection Different Seasons.
CinemaBlend recently had the chance to speak with Scott Derrickson, whose most recent work in the horror genre is the segment "Dreamkill" from the new anthology movie V/H/S/85. During their conversation, he shared an update on The Breathing Method. Although he "really loved that script," he is "not involved with it anymore," so he was not able to offer a more substantive update.
I don't know where the rights are on that. I don't even know if it's in development now. I had a script developed with Scott Teems, who worked on the Halloween films and I think one of the Insidious films. And he did a great job, and I really loved that script, and it was very imaginative, and a really strong adaptation. It didn't end up going anywhere. I'm not involved with it anymore, so I have no idea where it's at.
The Breathing Method's Production History Explained The Breathing Method was originally announced to be in development in 2012. At the time, it was already announced that Derrickson would be attached. The director was then fresh off his Blumhouse horror hit Sinister, which earned $87.7 million off its $3 million budget and was followed by a sequel in 2015. He had also previously directed the horror titles Hellraiser: Inferno and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
In the years since The Breathing Method was announced, both creators have put out other works in the horror genre, with Derrickson even directing 2022's The Black Phone, an adaptation of a story by King's son Joe Hill. However, if Derrickson is no longer involved, it may be the case that Teems is also not attached. Even if the script is still in play, with no director the movie is likely very far from going into production, if the possibility is still even being considered.
