According to Variety, John Pogue has sold a pitch for a remake of French horror pic Malefique to Paramount for producer Neal Moritz.

The story concerns an eclectic group of four inmates sharing one prison cell. When they find a book of occult spells, they try to use its shaky magic to escape, but things don't go as planned.

Original's Moritz and Ori Marmur are producing.
