Before there was [REC], Jaume Balagueró directed a string of genre films from Darkness to Fragile.

Before all came The Nameless (Los sin nombre), his 1999 Filmax thriller in which a secret group – known as The Nameless – may be behind the murder of a 6-year-old girl.

Variety reports today that Balagueró is teaming with Pau Freixas, writer-director of “The Red Band Society,” and creator of Mediaset España’s “I Know Who You Are,” on a small-screen version of The Nameless.

Created by Balagueró and Freixas and currently in development, the series is set up at Arca Audiovisual, Filmax’ TV division.

Based on a novel by British horror scribe Ramsey Campbell, Freixas told the site that Balagueró has worked with various screenwriters to create a “really pretty extensive bible” and roadmap of plot lines.

Watch for more as it enters the pilot/casting phase.
