3. Hack/Slash
Another comic full of sex and violence looking to be adapted into film is Tim Seeley’s Image Comics series Hack/Slash which began in 2004 but didn’t graduate to a full ongoing series until 2007 and is a kind of post modern take on the slasher horror film genre. The protagonists are Cassie Hack, a character designed to be the typical female horror movie victim who has overcome her fears to take revenge on all horror villains known in this universe as “slashers”, and Vlad, a hulking brute of a man with disfigurements who has also sworn to rid the world of slashers as he was once mistook for one. As Cassie was originally conceived for the protagonist of Freddy vs. Jason, the ties between this comic and cinema have been close since its inception and remain so today.
Although the property was already adapted into a stage play in 2005 by the New Millennium Theater Company of Chicago starring Stefani Bishop, and an animated adaptation is planned to be released by HALO 8 Entertainment and directed by Matt Pizzolo, a live action feature is in the works. Originally announced in 2006 at the San Diego ComiCon to be released by Rogue Pictures, a division of Universal, in 2008 with Todd Lincoln directing and Martin Schenk writing, then reported by Variety in 2009 to be directed by Fredrik Bond and written by Stephen Susco, according to The Hollywood Reporter as of this past January, Hack/Slash is now to be helmed by Marcus Nispel for Relativity Media which acquired the now defunct Rogue Pictures.
Nispel looks to be a good fit as he has previously directed the recent remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, and Conan the Barbarian. Who might play the main character, Cassie, has been the center of much contention as both Megan Fox and Kat Dennings have each expressed interest in the role while series creator Seeley has vehemently recommended Allison Scagliotti through a Twitter campaign that has broke records.
