Illegal Aliens From Comic to Film
A rather unique joint venture has happened today. Rather than acquiring the film rights to a comic book film, Platinum Studios and Vanguard Animations are going to make their own comic publisher. From the newly formed Vanguard Comics they will adapt a film from whatever is created.
To kick off this venture they are going to begin with Kevin MacDougall’s Illegal Aliens. The comic is about a skeptical tabloid reporter sent to a Texas border town to investigate cattle mutilations. The reporter uncovers stories of the chupacabra monster.
They will simultaneously release this as a comic book and a feature film. According to Variety the studio hopes to turn this into a franchise. It would be interesting to see a feature film in which a tabloid reporter runs across different “cryptozoology” creatures like Sasquatch, the Jersey Devil, etc. We’ll have to wait and see how this turns out.
