LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Director Spike Jonze and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman are adapting their "Adaptation" talents to the horror genre.

Deals are being worked out for the duo to collaborate on an untitled horror film for Columbia Pictures. Details of the project, which they will also produce, were closely guarded.

The deal is a coup for Columbia, which released the duo's last effort, "Adaptation." The critically acclaimed project, which dramatized a screenwriter's struggle adapting a nonfiction book, nabbed four Oscar nominations and a supporting actor win for Chris Cooper earlier this year.

Jonze and Kaufman also worked together on the edgy 2000 comedy "Being John Malkovich," which picked up three Oscar nominations.
