Disney Acquires Lighthouse

[Sarangel]

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Disney has acquired "The Lighthouse," a claustrophobic thriller from scribe Dean DeBlois.

The story is set off the coast of Brittany in the English Channel, where lighthouses perch on solitary pieces of rock and lighthouse keepers live in isolation for two months at a time. When a man arrives to install automated equipment, he meets two brothers who have been living there for years and begins to unravel their dark secrets.

DeBlois was the co-head writer on "Mulan" and co-wrote and co-directed "Lilo & Stitch," both from Disney.

This is for an animated film?? What a dark topic. The only reason I say that is because of DeBlois credits. I assume he works for the animated side of the studio??
