According to Variety, Black Hole will not be directed by Alexandre Aja, as initially reported.
Black Hole was inspired by the work of Charles Burns, who wrote and illustrated the 12-issue series, which then became a graphic novel. Screenwriters Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman are working on the adaptation of the book, in which a sexually transmitted "bug" is passed from teenager to teenager.
David Fincher has directed several projects for Paramount Pictures. He recently finished work on the drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. He also directed the 2007 suspense film Zodiac, which earned $75 million at the box office. Other projects currently in development include Torso and the action film The Killer.
