Actress Nicole Kidman has bought the film rights to the Off-Broadway vampire drama "Cuddles".

Penned by playwright Joseph Wilde, the thriller examines the strange and disturbing forms love can take. Wilde will write the film adaptation from his own play.

Kidman, 48, will produce under her company Blossom with partner Per Saari, reported Variety.

"Joe's voice is so beautifully subversive. He's exactly the kind of young writer Blossom is looking to support," Kidman said in a statement.

Production company Blossom Films, founded by Kidman and Saari in 2010, is no stranger to literary adaptations.

It most recently produced "The Family Fang", based on Kevin Wilson's bestselling novel.
