20th Century Fox is not afraid of the creatures that live upstairs.
The company has paid out around $1.75 million for the spec script They Came From Upstairs, written by British writer Mark Burton, who has contributed to both Madagascar and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Wererabbit
The plot is a guarded secret, but it’s said to be a blend of Home Alone and Gremlins.
There’s no director or cast attached yet.
