Jordan signs deal for new thriller

Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan is to adapt and direct a thriller called 'Heart-Shaped Box'.

Variety reports that the film is based on the book of the same name by Joe Hill; Joe Hill is the nom de plume of Stephen King's son Joseph.

The film tells the story of an aging rock star who buys a suit that is said to contain a ghost, but it's a purchase that gives him more than he bargained for.
