House Of Night Movie Gets New Director, Filming Set For 2027
A bestselling fantasy book series that combines elements reminiscent of Wednesday and The Vampire Diaries is heading toward a big-screen adaptation. The supernatural project is based on House of Night, the Young Adult fantasy romance series written by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.
From The Vampire Diaries to Wednesday: The Supernatural Connection
From 2009 to 2017, The CW aired The Vampire Diaries, a supernatural television series adapted from L.J. Smith’s book series. The story follows Elena Gilbert, played by Nina Dobrev, a high school student who falls in love with vampire Stefan Salvatore, portrayed by Paul Wesley.
Five years later, Netflix introduced Wednesday, featuring Jenna Ortega as the titular character in the Addams Family franchise. Following the popularity of both shows, another supernatural story is now being developed for the screen.

According to Deadline, David Films is adapting P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast’s House of Night book series into a movie. Johanna Watts has joined the project as director, replacing Rain Li.
Victor Hadida, known for Resident Evil, and Molly Hassell, associated with Return to Silent Hill, are producing the film alongside co-author and executive producer P.C. Cast.
