Director Jonathan Liebesman ('Darkness Falls') has signed up for New Line Cinema's
Dead Asleep, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature, penned by Carter Blanchard, centers on a small town that becomes infested with a species of killer bugs that come out at night. They burrow inside their victims' bodies, killing people from the inside.
It's described as a realistic horror tale in the vein of '28 Days Later' and 'The Hot Zone'.
