Mad Men’s Sally Draper, aka Kiernan Skipka, is taking the lead in a movie adaptation of Tim Lebbon’s novel The Silence.
The story has been transplanted from Great Britain to New Jersey for the movie, penned by Carey and Shane Van Dyke. According to Deadline, the film “follows the terrifying tale of Ally, a deaf teenager, and her family whose world is turned upside down by a deadly and primeval force. In the fields near her New Jersey home, a colony of bats are attacked by a parasitic insect and soon morph into a new lethal species called Vesps. As the blind, winged creatures quickly grow, spread and attack the human population, Ally’s heightened senses become her strength. She can feel when the Vesps are close and realizes that even the slightest noise summons them in huge numbers. She and her family seek refuge in the woods where they must live in total silence. Amidst the creature chaos, they learn that humans can be just as dangerous when they are fighting to survive.”
The film goes in front of the cameras in September, directed by John Leonetti.
