Christopher Golden’s novel Road of Bones is coming to the big screen, courtesy of Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill.

According to THR, the pair’s adaptation of the folk/survival horror novel will be produced for Sony’s Screen Gems. It is “set in Siberia along the Kolyma Highway, a real highway that was built in Stalinist Soviet Union using the labour of prisoners from the region’s gulags. Lore has it that hundreds of thousands of inmates perished during the construction of the 2000 km road and due to the permafrost, it was judged easier to just built atop of the bodies.”

Golden will executive produce the movie.
