July 21, 2008 Sonny Mallhi, who an executive producer of "The Strangers" (review here) has done what a lot of people in Hollywood do: He wrote a script. But he submitted it to Screen Gems under a pen name so they wouldn't know he was a producer and it would go through the usual consideration process.

The result is "The Roommate," a horror script that has been acquired by Screen Gems. Roy Lee, Doug Davison, Mallhi himself and Irene Yeung will produce via Vertigo, the company that backed "The Strangers," Variety reports.
