Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Hammer Films, an Exclusive Media company, is moving forward with ‘Gaslight’, an original screenplay written by newcomer Ian Fried.

The President & CEO of Hammer, Simon Oates, Guy East, and Nigel Sinclair of Exclusive Media are looking to develop and produce ‘Gaslight’ for the big screen.

The screenplay landed on Hollywood’s Blacklist of the best unproduced scripts in 2011 and is an atmospheric thriller in the vein of From Hell meets The Silence of the Lambs. “Secretly imprisoned in a London insane asylum, the infamous Jack the Ripper helps Scotland Yard investigators solve a series of grisly murders whose victims all share the iconic death brand: dual puncture wounds to the neck.”
