Faulkner's Nosferatu

Have you guys heard about this? Apparently, 7 years ago William Faulkner's daughter found a screenplay he wrote for a vampire movie that was never produced. Some Hollywood director is interested in it, and plans to have the setting in the South with digital special effects. Isn't that odd? I thought my literary friends would appreciate that the man who wrote Absalom! Absalom and The Sound and the Fury also wrote a vampire movie.
