Some exciting news via THR as Adam Wingard – director of A Horrible Way to Die, V/H/S, You’re Next and The Guest – has signed to helm The Woods for Lionsgate.

The project is written by his longtime collaborator Simon Barrett and while many of the details are being kept submerged, it does “involve a group of college students on a camping trip who discover they are not alone.”

Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Keith Calder and Jessica Wu are the producers.

The team is looking to move fast on this, planning a spring shoot and looking to cast mostly unknowns with the hope of giving the movie maximum scares.
