Joe, we're starting with more popular online material that's going to get the big film treatment.
Now, first introduced in 2008 is a 13-year-old serial killer who started a killing spree after his face was disfigured by bullies.
The figure has a sort of unnaturally smooth white face, black eyes and exposed red gums.
Moss is best known actually for comedy and sort of horror fever dream videos, wrote and co-directed and starred in a short film called Funny Bunny, which is also played at festivals.
But what's interesting here is that the creative direction for Jeff the Killer will work with Tungle to allow emerging filmmakers to participate throughout the movie's development process.
Creatives worldwide will can already visit the site to pitch character concepts for the project.
So obviously we're seeing this more and more where studios are adapting these online horror stories into movies.
And I suppose they're all rushing to do it in the wake of A24's major success with Backrooms and obviously the hit Obsession as well, just burning it up at the box office.
