Splice director digs Tunnels

Vincenzo Natali to direct Tunnels

Splice director Vincenzo Natali is reportedly on board to helm family adventure film Tunnels.

 

Relativity Media is eyeing the film as the start of a potential franchise, reports Variety.

 

Tunnels is based on Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams’s children’s book of the same name and follows a teenage boy who travels to a subterranean world ruled by an evil race called the Styx.

 

Two sequels to the book are to be published in the US this spring.
