Alice Lowe, the director of cult horror hit Prevenge, is turning her sights to an Elizabethan classic for her next project: she's adapting William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream into a horror movie.
"I wanted to make a classic and it struck me that Midsummer Night’s Dream, which I know so well, is always made in the same way over and over," Lowe told Deadline. "It’s so genuinely funny. But also fey and fairies and blah blah blah. But I don’t see why it couldn’t be revisited with how terrifying and odd everything happens in it, and how the undercurrents are actually so dark and strange."
