Production studio MGM has bought the script to Gregg Taylor’s childrens book KILLER PIZZA. Adam Green, who wrote and directed the cult and enjoyable over-the-top horror films HATCHET and HATCHET II, has written the screenplay that will tell the tale of 14 year old who gets a summer job as a pizza delivery boy at Killer Pizza. The restaurant is really a cover for a specialist monster hunting organization.
HOME ALONE and HARRY POTTER director Chris Columbus brought the project to the attention of the studio with a hope its child-friendly plot will be a hit with kids at the box-office. It is unclear whether he or even Green will direct with pre-production in its very early stages.
