Twitter Ghost Story Dear David Is Becoming a Horror Movie!!

The Dear David movie is officially happening at New Line. The studio won a bidding war for the famous Ghost Story on social media by former BuzzFeed writer Adam Ellis. He posted on Twitter about the ghost of a dead child that had been haunting his apartment and trying to kill him.  He posted a lot during each week about the haunting and quickly got over a million followers in social media in just a few months.

BuzzFeed Studios partnered with IT producer Dan Lin, and now New Line will distribute the horror film. Mike van Waes is writing the script based on the story and BuzzFeed Studios’ Lauren Dolgen and Hieu Ho are also on board to produce the horror movie.

Ellis’ tweets were later turned into a story on BuzzFeed. Adam Ellis has never confirmed whether or not the Dear David story is a work of fiction.
