Arcanum wedged between Gold Circle

Thomas Wheeler’s fantasy-adventure, previously at Miramax


Gold Circle Films (“Slither”, “White Noise : The Light”) have picked up feature rights to Thomas Wheeler’s fantasy-adventure “The Arcanum” out of turnaround from Miramax, says Variety.

“The Arcanum,” Wheeler’s debut novel, is set in 1919 and follows the titular secret society comprising the era’s leading occult investigators — Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini, H.P. Lovecraft and Marie Laveau — as they battle demons descending on New York City, including a serial killer of angels.

Gold Circle topper Paul Brooks told Daily Variety that the banner’s going out to directors. “We see this as a potential franchise property,” he added.
