Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, and Lindsey Beer is on board to write and direct the new movie.
Beer is fresh off directing a prequel to Stephen King’s Pet Sematary for Paramount, her debut feature in the director’s chair. That project is in post-production, coming soon.
Deadline reports that Beer is writing, directing, and producing the new Sleepy Hollow movie alongside Todd Garner and Spencer Walken of Broken Road Productions.
“Exact plot details are unknown for Beer’s adaptation at this time,” Deadline notes.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
