I love when something cool goes under the radar and appears like magic, it's like the good ol days when you'd see a movie and a trailer would appear and have you jumping out of your seat with excitement. This announcement isn't THAT cool, but still... Today a post went on the Newsarama comic forum announcing that production has already begun on an adaptation for Darkchylde, which features 5 time Oscar Winner Richard Taylor (King Kong, Lord of the Rings) and Weta Workshop, and Dark Horse (Hellboy) hard at work. Read on for the skinny.
Randy Queen passed along this note to share with
Newsarama readers about Darkchylde:
"Just wanted to give a heads up that the first filmic images have been captured of Darkchylde, based on the comic of the same name. I am intimately involved, as is 5 time Oscar Winner Richard Taylor (King Kong, Lord of the Rings) and Weta Workshop, and Dark Horse (Hellboy)."
"The story revolves around a very pretty girl's curse that allows her to transform into different creatures from her many nightmares. Ariel Chylde is a physical pandora's box, and these creatures borrow her blood and bones to hitchhike over to our world. Everytime Ariel changes, she sets a different horror creature free in her small southern town.
"I am very passionate about what I think works and what hasn't over the years. We have the A list team, and our expressed goal is to produce an original, beautifully shot, atmospheric horror film, played very straight and very dark, ala a modern Carrie or Ridley Scott's Alien, with a wicked, sexy cool Underworld vibe. Our only wish is to create a film for the horror fans of the world to get excited about, so everyone please wish us luck!
"Promise to report more when able.
