Cloverfield and Let Me In director Matt Reeves is pressing ahead with his adaptation of Justin Cronin’s The Passage, and has enlisted Machine Gun Preacher writer Jason Keller as a collaborator.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reeves was brought on board in April after Ridley Scott decided he was not going to direct as well as produce the movie. Star Trek Nemesis’s John Logan had prepared a draft of the script for Scott’s consideration.

The novel, the first part of a trilogy about a government experiment to extend life that leads to the creation of a vampiric population, was published last year to considerable acclaim. Fox 2000 purchased the rights three years earlier. As well as his work on Marc Forster’s Machine Gun Preacher, Keller co-wrote the script for Relativity’s new Snow White project, which has just begun filming with Julia Roberts and Ian McShane.
