Zac Efron will star in and executive produce an “Angel Heart” series from HBO and A24.
The one-hour drama show, from “Black Rabbit” creator Zach Baylin, is based on the 1978 horror novel “Falling Angel” — which was adapted into the 1987 Robert De Niro movie “Angel Heart” — as well as the book’s sequel “Angel’s Inferno.”
The logline reads: “A down-and-out NYC paparazzi, who makes his living finding and photographing people who don’t want to be found, is hired by a mysterious man to find a missing woman. But the deeper he digs to find her, the more it looks like a group of powerful elites, and maybe something supernatural, are covering up the disappearance.”
“Angel Heart” is executive produced by Marc Toberoff, Max Hjortsberg, Lorca Hjortsberg, Alice P. Neuhauser, Baylin and Kate Susman for Youngblood Pictures; Joe Hipps for Cut To; and Stuart Manashil, Kevin Turen and Harrison Kreiss.
Deadline broke the news.
