Warner Brothers has acquired the rights to the Jackson family’s memoir, Our Ghost Son, that tells the real-life story of infertile married couple Ronald and Trish Jackson, who “adopt” the ghost of a two-year-old boy who had been haunting their house.
In 2007, Ronald and Trish discovered they were infertile and unable to conceive children. They agreed on moving cross-country for a change of scenery. They sold their house in Providence, Rhode Island and moved to Seattle, Washington where they bought a fixer-upper. Little did they know that the derelict house they recently purchased was abandoned years before after the death of the previous homeowner’s two-year-old son.
While restoring the house, Ronald and Trish find themselves haunted by the ghost of what they suspect is a young, mischevious child. They ultimately discover the child is the two-year-old boy who previously lived in the house. Although the two-year-old boy is going through the terrible twos (as a ghost), Ronald and Trish realize he’s the child they never had but always wanted.
Production is slated for Spring 2019.
