Horror Writer Gets Comicbook/Film Deal

Horror film writer Neal Marshall Stevens will write two comicbooks for Studio 407 that the company may also adopt into features, per VARIETY.

Futuristic action-thriller HAVOC BRIGADE will come out March 25 and scary actioner DEMON SQUAD is set for release later in 2009. Stevens originally came to Studio 407 to write HUNTER with director Eric Vallete and co-produced by Stallion Pictures.

Studio 407 is working with Myriad Pictures to produce two films based on their graphic novels: HYBRID and THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST.

Stevens wanted to have a better chance of getting his work turned into films. "Only around one in 10" of the scripts he's written have wound up on the bigscreen. With comicbooks, "I knew going in that the scripts that I wrote would actually be produced, and that the work would get in front of an audience," he said.
