Here’s more from The Hollywood Reporter: “The Monolith centers on Alice Cohen, an ex-junkie who inherits a house in Brooklyn from her deceased grandmother. She discovers a diary there that reveals the creation of a monster in the 1930s set on revenge for the slaying of a good man…The film adaptation will be a contemporary retelling of the classic Golem legend, which centers on an artificial creature created by magic.” (via Collider)
