Ania Ahlborn’s “Seed” was originally self-published, yet rose to the top spot on Amazon’s horror book rankings after being picked up by 47North, Amazon’s in-house science fiction, fantasy, and horror imprint. Now Amazon is adapting the book for film.
“‘Seed’ is the story of teen boy, who sees an unspeakable horror — an evil of some kind — on a rural road [and] flees his home,” explains The Hollywood Reporter. “Years later, after starting a new life, Jack, the boy-turned-grown-man, encounters the evil again when his wife and two daughters are caught in — but survive — a terrible car crash. Now Jack must stop it before it kills him and takes over his youngest daughter.”
Amazon Studios, the original content arm of the online retailer, started in November 2011 and has since put 21 movie scripts and seven episodic series in development.
Noting the book’s success in Amazon’s rankings, “…we already have a sense of the mainstream attraction of the story and are excited to keep the project in-house for movie development,” says Roy Price, director of Amazon Studios.
“Amazon Studios recently ran a fan book trailer contest for ‘Seed,’ awarding $3,000 to the winning trailer ‘Grinning Demons,'” the article states.
