Stephen Woolley will produce, and here's what he had to say about the project, which first came up when the producer revisited the Angela Carter novel The Company of Wolves.
"I love the horror genre and we've been working on this for three or four years. I sent it to Neil and he liked the script. We'd both recently revisited Angela Carter's book and it was just chance that when I called [Jordan], we were thinking along the same lines."
Byzantium comes to theaters in 2011 and stars Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton. The film is directed by Neil Jordan.
