Announced back in June was an interesting project entitled Ghoulishly Yours, William M. Gaines, which would tell the story of "Tales from the Crypt" co- creator William M. Gaines. Today it was announced that horror legend John Landis (American Werewolf in London) will direct the film! You can read about it inside.
John Landis will direct "Ghoulishly Yours, William M. Gaines," a biopic based on the life of the publisher of EC Comics and Mad magazine.
Landis will develop the project with Joel Eisenberg, who's also penning the screenplay.
Pic's centered on an anti-establishment group of artists and writers, led by a reluctant Gaines and cohort Al Feldstein, as they produce their comicbooks. At the peak of his success, Gaines became a First Amendment figurehead due to his unapologetic testimony before a Senate subcommittee investigating juvenile delinquency.
Landis most recently helmed "Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project" for HBO. Eisenberg is a partner in production concern EMO Films with Tim Owens and Eugene Mandelcorn.
Excellent! EC Comics and Mad Magazine made me what I am today. It's time the true story was told.
