THR reports that ABC is developing The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, a tv-film based on the book of the same name that was released as a prequel to the miniseries Rose Red. Written by Ridley Pearson as a first-person account by young Ellen Rimbauer, the diary documents the eerie events in the house built by her husband, oil magnate John Rimbauer, in 1907 and features many of the Rose Red characters.
Lisa Brenner and Steven Brand (The Scorpion King) have been cast to play Ellen and John Rimbauer, with Craig Baxley back to direct, Mark Carliner to executive produce and Thomas Brodek to produce.
Though actually penned by novelist Pearson, the best-selling Diary was marketed as having been written by Rimbauer and edited by Stephen King and Rose Red's central character, psychology professor Joyce Reardon (Nancy Travis). Pearson wrote the script for the ABC movie. No word if King, who wrote and executive produced Rose Red, will be involved with this film.
