John Logan, who wrote the screenplay for Gladiator, has been hired to adapt the Jordan Ainsley-penned vampire novel for Fox 2000, Variety reports.
The project centres on terminally ill patients who become healthy after receiving bites from bats. The resulting studies on human test subjects - including death row inmates - to see if the virus can cure illness subsequently unleashes hordes of bloodthirsty vampires upon the world.
It is understood that Scott is interested in reteaming with Logan for the movie, which the studio acquired the rights for two years ago and paid an undisclosed sum for the three-book series.
It was reported earlier that Scott will return to the Alien franchise to helm a prequel.
