"Criminal Macabre" set up at Universal
Fri, August 14, 2009
Variety reports that another of Dark Horse's properties has been picked up by a studio, this time Universal:
Universal Pictures has acquired "Criminal Macabre," the Dark Horse Entertainment comicbook miniseries created by Steve Niles. Kyle Ward has been set to write the script.
Story centers around a supernatural detective who doubles as hitman, taking out all the vampires, ghosts and other unsavory monsters who live among humans, hiding in the shadows by day and emerging at night.
The description doesn't really highlight anything that sets this apart from similar stories in the genre, but if executed well it could still be an entertaining slice of action horror.
