has unveiled more details about Paramount Players's movie adaptation of the '90s Nickelodeon horror anthology seriesThe official synopsis for Nickelodeon'sminiseries is: "A group of kids meet in secret every week to tell scary stories in the woods. They're call the Midnight Society. But when a new girl arrives in town and auditions to join the group... things begin to get spooky. A reboot of the classic '90s Nickelodeon show."The production listing also reveals that filming for the movie will begin Monday, June 10th and wrap Friday, July 19th in Vancouver, Canada, as well as the production credits are:Produced by: Are You Afraid Productions Inc., Ace Entertainment, Nickelodeon West Coast, Paramount PlayersProducer: Matt Kaplan, Robyn Marshall, Mallory Martin, Max SiemersWriter: Gary DaubermanWriter/Producer: BenDavid GrabinskiDirector: Dean IsraeliteLP: Chris FossPM: Tia BuhlPC: Cathy FullertonNow, here's where it gets confusing. The production listing for theproject lists it as a new miniseries, although it has the movies' production credits. Paramount Players announced last year that they were producing a new movie adaptation of the '90s Nickelodeon hit. The only major difference is Dean Israelite (2017'smovie) is now sitting in the directors chair, taking over from D.J. Caruso ().Themovie was set to be released in October this year, but Paramount Pictures recently took the film off their 2019 release schedule. Could Paramount and Nickelodeon have changed their minds about theirmovie, and are now releasing it as a miniseries? Theminiseries was announced during Nickelodeon Upfront 2019 in February, and is slated to premiere in October 2019.Of course, it could easily be just a typo, and it's the movie that's being filming in June 2019, not the miniseries.Israelite made his feature film debut with the found-footage time travel flick. He then went on to direct Saban's 2017, based on the wildly popular and long-running franchise. Next, he will write and direct Amblin’s supernatural thrillerIt was recently revealed thatdirector Nicholas McCarthy delivered the latest draft of the movie's script."I actually just turned in the script and we’re all pretty excited about it," he told SYFY WIRE . "I think the target is to shoot it this summer. I’ve had an absolute blast. There’s been a couple of writers before who have tried to crack it, and I think I’ve done it with this version. I love the series, too, and I’ve already had an amazing time writing it. The people that are behind it also love the series and it’s just been really really cool."The "couple of writers" to which McCarthy refers are Gary Dauberman () and BenDavid Grabinski (). When he was still writing an earlier draft of the screenplay last September, Dauberman promised that he would be sticking to the spirit of the original series, which could be incredibly frightening at times. McCarthy also went back to the beloved source material, rewatching those episodes that are truly representative of the show as a whole."I couldn’t watch all 90 or whatever it is, but I revisited a huge ton of them," he continued with a laugh. "I shouldn’t say too much more about it because I don’t know how they’re gonna frame what they’re doing with it. I don’t think any of the other writers who have been on it before have talked about the direction of the big screen version, but as a fan of the series and as someone who has really enjoyed going back and watching them, I’ve been really keen to try to capture the spirit of what makes that show so great."Originally slated to open Oct. 11 of this year, it is now unclear when the movie version ofwill reach theater-going audiences. After all, if the project plans to shoot over the summer, there's almost no way it can make a fall 2019 release. Indeed, fans may have to wait until Halloween of 2020 (most high-profile horror films usually open around the spooky holiday) to see it.In addition, McCarthy confirmed that the tie-in miniseries, set to air on Nickelodeon this October (unless it's being pushed off with the film's production schedule), is still happening, although he isn't involved with it in any way. Theminiseries is slated to start filming in Vancouver, Canada on Monday, May 27, 2019.is a Canadian-esqie anthology series created by D.J. MacHale and Ned Kandel. It revolves around a group of teenagers who called themselves the Midnight Society that meet weekly at a secret location in the woods, where one member tells a scary story to the rest of the group, some of which are based on public domain fairy tales, short stories or urban legends. Subjects range from abandoned houses and vampires to scary clowns, witches and aliens.The series debuted in 1990 on the Canadian children's channel YTV and was picked up by Nickelodeon USA in 1991, though it didn’t debut until SNICK’s launch on Saturday, Aug. 15, 1992. The show ran until April 1996, and a revival series with new writers, directors, writers and cast members was produced by Nickelodeon from 1999 to 2000. In all, the series ran for 91 episodes over seven seasons. Tia and Tamera Mowry (), Will Friedle ), Neve Campbell, Hayden Christensen, Jay Baruchel, Tatyana Ali, Melissa Joan Hart (), Jewel Staite ( Space Cases ), Emily VanCamp, and two-time Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling are just a few of the household names who have lent their acting skills to the anthology.Each episode is introduced with the storyteller saying “Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,” who then would announce the title of that segment. MacHale said the line was a tribute to the series, in which creator Rod Serling would introduce the episode by saying, “submitted for your approval.”Paramount Players is a new division at Paramount Pictures that focuses on contemporary talent and properties for young audiences while drawing upon the vast resources of the Viacom brands. Nickelodeon is one of those Viacom brands, which Paramount Players will be releasing Dora and the Lost City of Gold , a live-action movie inspired by Nickelodeon's beloved animated preschool series, in Summer 2019.Gary Dauberman has confirmed that he has parted ways from theproject. "That actually hasn’t shot yet," Dauberman confirmed withwhen asked about the project. "That’s one of those things I’m no longer a part of. I just had a different vision to make it and thought it best to part ways."He added, "I don’t think that’s out there. It’s unfortunate but as you said, that’s sometimes how it goes."The writer previously detailed what his approach to the film would be.“That show is so important to me. I didn’t want to age it down too much because for it’s time, it had some really disturbing episodes and some really dark episodes. Not every story the Midnight Society told ended with happily ever after or a person learning their lesson and it will never happen again," Dauberman admitted to. "I really embraced that side of things and I think it’s been a long time. I think fear is healthy for kids. I don’t think we have to always sand down the edges of things and that’s something I really wanted to do withI think it is scary and I think kids will be scared watching it at times, and also they’ll laugh at times. I think it’s got a great message. I think it’s got a great heart to it but it is still scary. I think that’s great. I think it’s going to open it up to a wider audience.”
