NBC is reportedly developing a Napa-based soap opera involving a family who discovers their grape vines have supernatural powers.
Really.
According to Decanter magazine, Japanese director Hideo Nakata – the man behind cult horror movie The Ring – is being slated as a possible producer or director of Vines, which revolves around a troubled family in search of a new life together.
With Nakata at the realm, it seems likely that the vines will take on a potentially sinister character role in the series. A pilot has not yet been green-lighted, but the script has been completed.
Creeeeeepy.
