Taking one more horror project under its wing, Universal Pictures has successfully obtained the rights to "Agony" for Scott Stuber and Mary Parent to produce via their Stuber/Parent production company, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed.

While either director or cast still remains a big question, the company has appointed Scott Nimerfro to pen the picture's script. The man previously has written for several small screen features which included "Tales from the Crypt" and "The Outer Limits."

No details yet about the movie plot, but it has been confirmed that the story will be set in the world of urban legends on college campuses, with one horrifying legend in particular turning out to be true.
