Having impressed many a horror hound with his work so far, now comes word on Oz Perkins’ next project.

Courtesy of Collider, the I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House and The Blackcoat’s Daughter helmer is to direct Gretel and Hansel for Orion Pictures and Automatik Entertainment. In case you hadn’t guessed, this will be an adaptation of the famed Brothers Grimm story.

Perkins was initially on the radar of many genre fans simply for being the son of the much-loved Anthony Perkins, but Oz has gone on to prove himself as quite the talented filmmaker in his own right.

The current plan for Gretel and Hansel is to start filming in Europe later this year.
