Hack/Slash Director Hunts Killer Aliens in ‘The Nye Incidents’

Published

on

Some pretty huge news hit the trades this evening as they are reporting that Dark Castle has tapped Todd Lincoln – who was attached to The Fly remake and the forthcoming adaptation of Hack/Slash – to produce and direct a live-action adaptation of Devil’s Due graphic novel The Nye Incidents for Dark Castle and Warner Bros. Pictures. You can read the details inside.
Dark Castle is turning to aliens as its newest bogeymen.

The Nye IncidentsThe Warner Bros.-based horror label has picked up rights to Devil’s Due graphic novel “The Nye Incidents,” from sci-fi and horror novelist Whitley Strieber. Todd Lincoln will direct.

Inspired by true events, the comicbook revolves around a medical examiner on the hunt of a killer of alien abductees.

No scribe has yet been hired to pen the script.

Strieber is best known for “The Wolfen” and “The Hunger,” which were adapted into pics in the 1980s, as well as alien abduction tale “Communion.” “The Coming Global Superstorm,” a book he co-wrote with Art Bell, inspired Fox’s tentpole “The Day After Tomorrow.”

Dark Castle’s Joel Silver, Andrew Rona, as well as Alex Heineman, who brought the project into the shingle, will produce, along with Daniel Alter, who also has “Johnny Quest” set up at Warner Bros. with Dan Lin shepherding the project. Alter co-produced Fox’s actioner “Hitman” and has adaptations of the Devil’s Due books “Hack/Slash” and “Lost Squad” set up at Relativity-owned Rogue Pictures.

“Nye” is the first project that Dark Castle has acquired since Rona, formerly prexy at Rogue, joined the company.

Genre label has creepy-kid pic “Orphan” bowing this summer.

Lincoln, who had previously been attached to a remake of “The Fly” at Fox Searchlight, will also serve as a producer on “Nye.” He is attached to helm “Hack/Slash” for Rogue.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
