Ti West Has A Case Of BEDBUGS

Ti West is a busy man. Not only is he gearing up production on his scifi thriller The Side Effect with Liv Tyler, but he has just signed on to write an adaptation of Ben H Winters' horror novel Bedbugs for Tango Pictures. There is no word yet if there is also an offer to West to direct as well but it'd make rather a lot of sense.

Amazon describes the book like this:

Susan and Alex Wendt have found their dream apartment.

Sure, the landlady is a little eccentric. And the elderly handyman drops some cryptic remarks about the basement. But the rent is so low, it's too good to pass up.

Big mistake. Susan soon discovers that her new home is crawling with bedbugs . . . or is it? She awakens every morning with fresh bites, but neither Alex nor their daughter Emma has a single welt. An exterminator searches the property and turns up nothing. The landlady insists her building is clean. Susan fears she's going mad--until a more sinister explanation presents itself: she may literally be confronting the bedbug problem from Hell.
