Via Variety: Stephenie Meyer has optioned the rights to “Dark Hall” by Lois Duncan.  

The story revolves around Blackwood boarding school and its mysterious students. Ensnared in the chilling world is new student Kit Gordy, who must unravel Blackwood’s haunted and tragic history before it’s too late. “Twilight” producer Wyck Godfrey is also in talks to produce.

Kruger will play The Seeker, who is tasked with converting Melanie who is a rebel soldier, in the hopes of quashing the movement
