Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse co-director Peter Ramsey will soon be directing a period vampire film titled Blood Count. 

Ramsey wrote the spec script package, which was quickly scooped up by Paramount. LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s SpringHill is aboard to produce, with James, Jamal Henderson and Spencer Beighley also attached as producers. The project is still in the early development stages.

Details on Blood Count are sparse, but it has been described as a film noir social thriller set in 1950s Los Angeles. Including supernatural elements (it’s got vampires, after all!), it’s also said to be loosely inspired by the life of Ramsey’s own father, a jazz musician.

In the meantime, Ramsey serves as executive producer on the two back-to-back Spider-Verse sequels and has directed fantasy miniseries Lost Ollie, which will release to Netflix later this year.
