Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has purchased feature film rights to Neal Marshall Stevens' horror spec script, Superstition and are setting it up with Radar Pictures and Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes.

Based on the novel by British mystery writer David Ambrose, the film centers on a scientifically conducted seance that draws a deadly ghost who shifts reality to account for its existence.

Stevens tells Variety that "Superstition" drew his interest because of the originality of Ambrose's story, in which a university psychologist tests his theory that human minds have the psychic ability to create a ghost. "I think the novel's a great jumping-off point for a movie, especially since I mostly get offered projects that have been done a lot -- usually involving slashers or teenagers trapped in the woods," he told the trade.
