DEVIL'S DUE TO PUBLISH CHUCKY COMICS

Devil's Due Publishing on Tuesday announced a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group to bring horror character Chucky to comic books.

"In light of a popular resurgence of both horror movies and, more recently, horror comics, we thought fans might be ready for more Chucky," said DDP president Joshua Blaylock.

"Devilšs Due's infatuation with the horror genre isnšt a new one; the breakout cult success of Tim Seeley's Hack/Slash sparked more than enough interest to follow up with horror/occult themed Lost Squad, Black Harvest and Nightwolf, as well as a brief revival of the dormant Chaos Comics ghouls. We're excited as can be to bring Chucky to comics. Coming up with ideas for the character is 'child's play'."

"Chucky first appeared in the 1998 feature film Child's Play. Wounded by police, "Lakeshore Strangler" Charles Lee Ray stumbled into a toy store. Just before his death, the serial killer used voodoo to transfer his soul into a Play Pals "Good Guy" doll. When the doll was brought home as a child's birthday gift, horror ensued, and hasn't stopped since.

According to Devil's Due, there will be a new series in early 2007.

NICOLAS CAGE TEAMS WITH VIRGIN COMICS

Nicolas Cage is teaming with Virgin Comics on a film and a comics project.

Cage, who is starring in the upcoming Ghost Rider movie, will develop the lead role of James Jenson in Virgin Comics' film adaptation of its comic series The Sadhu, written and created by Gotham Chopra.

The screenplay for the film adaptation will be written by co-founder of Virgin Comics, Deepak Chopra.

"The Sadhu is a story of the dormant potentialities -- both divine and diabolical -- that exist in all of us. It is also about the struggle between the sacred and the profane within all of us when archetypal energies awaken in our consciousness," Chopra said. " As a performer, Nic embodies the soul of these archetypal energies and I can think of no one better to develop this franchise and iconic role."

In addition, Virgin Comics will be publishing Enigma, a Voodoo-laced thriller created by Cage and his 15-year-old son, Weston Cage.

"My father took an interest in my comic character Enigma so he put me in touch with Gotham Chopra," said Weston Cage. "Together we developed Enigma from my dark imagination. Enigma is a very dark character resurrected by a group of followers of Voodoo, who intend him to be a defender; one to give criminals bad karma early in life, or death.

"Despite his terrifying appearance that forces readers to believe at first that he is a villain or so called 'bad guy,' he is very well-mannered and a gentleman, but a machine full of rage in the heat of the moment. I owe my thanks to Gotham Chopra for his enormous help in getting all my thoughts out about Enigma and of course my outstanding father who is always there for me."

The Enigma story begins with fiery rebellion on a Southern plantation during the Confederacy, and quickly takes us to the post-Katrina mean streets of New Orleans where a veteran detective is trying to solve a series of murders connected by mysterious historical circumstances.

"Weston has always been a huge inspiration to me," said Nicolas Cage. "His creativity is fresh, original, and on the pulse of what is happening now. In a world which needs more spiritually-minded superheroes, Weston's Enigma emerges. I firmly believe in the uniqueness of his story and the possibility of developing a movie from it. We are both thrilled to collaborate with another father and son team in Deepak and Gotham Chopra and look forward to a productive relationship at Virgin Comics."

Enigma will be published as five-issue limited seires released monthly beginning March 2007. The stories will be collected and republished as a graphic novel for worldwide audiences during fourth quarter 2007.
