Promo One Sheet For ‘Hybrid’
Something that just landed in our lap is a piece of promo art for Studio 407 and Myriad Pictures’ Hybrid, their feature film adaptation of their forthcoming comic book. The plot follows vacationing college students stalked by a mutant creature from the deep. The monster, who emerged from polluted waters, gets his revenge on humans by “fishing” for them in the sea. Ernie Barbarash (Cube: Zero, They Wait) is attached to direct from a screenplay by Peter Kwong.
Shooting is scheduled to start in May in Puerto Rico.
“We are really looking forward to going into production on Hybrid with Ernie, “said D’Amico enthusiastically. “He’s got a great sensibility for this kind of material, and adds an edge that appeals to the fan base. It was amazing for me to hear what a popular figure he is in the horror and sci-fi community.”
Casting is underway and the filmmakers are interviewing some new, young talent to play the students. “It’s a great opportunity for young actors,” said D’Amico, “and this is another area where Ernie is really tapped into the community.”
In addition to overseeing the production of the film, Myriad Pictures will also handle worldwide sales. The title will be among a number of films Myriad will be selling at the upcoming European Film Market in February.

The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
