Ryan Reynolds is producing a horror story that started as a series on Reddit

In the age of the internet, you don’t necessarily need a best-selling book series to land a film deal.

Sometimes a collection of viral Reddit posts will do the job.

On Wednesday, Variety broke the news that Ryan Reynolds will be producing The Patient Who Nearly Drove Me Out of Medicine — a horror story based on a series originally published by writer Jasper DeWitt on Reddit’s r/nosleep sub. 

Reynolds has since retweeted the story, and DeWitt has also posted about it.
