Wake the Dead Coming To Theaters
Today Variety confirmed that Holding Pictures have acquired film rights to Steve Niles graphic novel, Wake the Dead. They have already chosen James V. Hart to write the script and Jay Russell to direct. All of the visual effects will be handled by the very talented Weta which have done effects on several films.
The Producer Charlie Lyons said, “The idea is to make a classic horror film, and what I liked was the combination of Jay, in a genre he’s wanted to experiment in for some time, with Jim, who is particularly skilled at this kind of voice, and with a world created by Steve, who has become a classic in the graphic novel world.”
Wake the Dead is a “re-imagining” of the classic Frankenstein tale. Steve Niles put together a rather cool look at the comic at the type of feel he wants for the movie.
