Dimension Films is developing a modern-day high school-set take on Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians."
The untitled pic, whose plot details are being kept under wraps, involves a teen social networking site.
T.S. Faull ("Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story") will pen the script.
Thriller is based on an original idea from actress Sara Rue ("Less Than Perfect") and producing partner Robert Green ("Spaced"). Rue and Green will produce. Adam Goldworm of Industry Entertainment is co-producing.
"Online social networking is a widespread phenomenon that interests me greatly," said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of the Weinstein Co. "Combining it with a suspense thriller is a new and fresh way to explore this new trend."
Faull said the screenplay will center on a social networking situation with dangerous consequences. "Social networking is alluring, but one always takes a risk when engaging on these sites," Faull said. "Online identities can be deceptive."
The Weinstein Co. and Dimension Films' 2009 slate includes Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," the Ryan Gosling-Kirsten Dunst starrer "All Good Things," the Rob Marshall-helmed ensemble musical "Nine" and "H2," the sequel to Rob Zombie's 2007 revamp of the horror classic "Halloween."
