Lionsgate has acquired the rights to an interesting mockumentary short film called Lovely Monster, directed by Francesco Calabrese. The short tells the story of of a young woman named Sophia, who is dealing with a rare and very dangerous condition that turns her into a monster.
The studio will be adapt the short into a feature length film, and it will be directed by Calabrese from a script written by John Scott 3. Scott 3 previously wrote a film called Maggie that follows a teenage girl who slowly becomes a zombie, so he seems like a solid choice write this flick.
I liked the short and I can see the potential of it being a decent movie. Watch the short below, and let us know if you think it will make for a good movie!
