Grady Hendrix’s 2021 horror novel *The Final Girl Support Group* is being adapted as a feature film by Paramount Pictures, with Christopher Landon set to direct. The project matters because it shifts from previously reported plans for an HBO series into a theatrical film, adding another prominent literary horror adaptation to the studio pipeline.

The novel won the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Horror Novel in 2021 and follows a group of women who survived slasher-film-style attacks. Landon is known for the *Happy Death Day* films and work on the *Paranormal Activity* franchise; he recently directed *Drop* and worked on *Heart Eyes*. Charlize Theron had previously been attached to the HBO version, while no cast, release date or production timetable for the Paramount film was announced.
