STUDIO 407'S NIGHT AND FOG OPTIONED
Studio 407 has announced that sci-fi horror property Night and Fog has been optioned for film by producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy.
Adler has produced such comic book films as Constantine, Superman Returns and the upcoming Dead of Night, based on the Italian comic book Dylan Dog.
Said Adler: "This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one. And having produced the Tales from the Crypt series and some Dark Castle horror films, I can say horror's a genre I know intrinsically. But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings, but rather the characters that really drive this story."
Here's how Studio 407 describes the property:
"Tied to an unsolved mystery from World War 2, Night and Fog, tells the story of a Frankenstein-like infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Caught in between, is a security officer on the base who must escape this gauntlet of horror to save his children before the creatures kill them or the fog infects them."
Added Adler: "When I read this I knew I had to take it off the market. It's a great high-concept that blends the gothic horror of the Hammer films with the sci-fi horror of Aliens and The Thing."
Night and Fog is currently available in comic shops in the single issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology. It will be hitting stores in a trade format this spring.
