David Gordon Green will direct a horror thriller based on the Dark Horse graphic novel “Freaks of the Heartland."

The writer of "Freaks of The Heartland," Steve Niles, also wrote the wintery vampire graphic novel "30 Days of Night."

Green's prior directorial credits include "George Washington," "All The Real Girls," "Undertow," "Snow Angels" and "Pineapple Express."

Tuesday morning’s Hollywood Reporter describes the premise:

Illustrated by Greg Ruth, [Steve] Niles' six-part 2004 series about the horrible secret of a rural Middle American town involves Trevor Owen's attempts to protect his "monster" of a 6-year-old younger brother and Gristlewood Valley's other "freaks" from their parents' worst instincts.
