HACK/SLASH Is Now Being Developed As A TV Series

Nice.I imagine it will be a monster of the week type of show.Still waiting to hear news on that Chew adaption though.

@Chekkarma

I like to see a Chew adaptation, but I'm not sure if iZombie wouldn't negatively influence plans on that. How many CBTV shows about people solving crimes through eating disgusting stuff will the audience want to watch?

Really fun, wild and ultra violent comic. Used to read it but fell off somewhat. I'll be watching. Oh and SKIP WOODS WRITING!!! YESSIR

Skip Woods is a terrible TERRIBLE writer, whose crappy writing will really bring down the material. He's next to Zack Penn when it comes to shitty dialogue and plot.

This is Cassie right here

I would have preferred a movie but this will more than suffice! very excited about this!

@dio @Foolsgoldfinger yeah, I agree with you.

I think CB/Graphic novels are just being looked at in the same light as books for adaptation rights, finally. Certain trends will change, but it combines a written and visual medium that will continue to open new doors for storytelling in film and TV.

I really love hack/slash and as long as they can keep the violence, blood and bad language I think this could make a really good tv show!!

@Superherodude1

your point is also important. this show, while i would absolutely LOVE for it to happen, sounds like it may have issues getting going. plus skip woods is garbage after i looked up what he's done.

But its hack/slash so I'm still remaining hopeful that someone makes the show!.... god i hope this turns out ok...

Really like this comic series. It's a solid throw back to old school slashers. Equal combination of horror and (mostly dark) comedy.

It would need to be a station like AMC, HBO, FX, Showtime, or STARZ to give the source material justice.

Too bad Marvel got him, cause I think Dave Bautista would be a great Vlad.

also,

I guess it's worth noting to everyone who pointed out that Relativity went bankrupt that relativity TV is separate and is under a new ownership umbrella, meaning that they have new investors.

So its like if Dexter killed movie killers? That sounds awesome. I will definitely be checking this out.

I love the Hack Slash comics, they're far and away my all time favorite series. Especially the original series when they were still at Devil's Due. I think Image tried a little too hard to sexy it up and that took away from the source material. But in all reality I probably (no I for sure) wouldn't even be collecting comic books if it wasn't for Hack Slash. The art in those first one shots was what started it all for me.

I was exited about the original rumors of a movie, but as we know that never came to fruition. Now these rumors of a TV show....... while I'm glad to see Cassie and Vlad getting noticed, and catching some headlines, and I'd like nothing more than to see the pair on screen. I'd much rather see them on the big screen. This series has so much potential as a franchise, and I think allot of that potential would be wasted as an episodic television show.

Don't get me wrong I think it could be a great show, and I'd definitely watch it either way. But as a movie franchise it could be so much more. Something the cinema has been lacking as of late is that great campy horror franchise ie: Halloween, Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc.... Hack Slash could/would fill that void in a way that nothing else could. It's the perfect choice for this day and age as long as they don't try to turn it into a T&A franchise.

But with all that in mind if they do "have to" take it to the small screen to give us Hack Slash Hollywood then I'd suggest they put just as much thought into channel shopping as they do writers, and producers. A Netflix series would probably be the best way to go. By making it an episodic show they're already ruining so much potential, I'd hate to see even more potential being flushed away because they have their hands tied by the censors.

Like anything else in life, if your going to do it, "DO IT RIGHT" !!! This becomes especially true when converting comic books to film because the people who are going to support you the most, are the ones who have grown to love those comics that your tampering with, and we can be a bit temperamental when Hollywood tries to mess up the characters, and/or stories we love do much.
Do it right, and you'll be praised for a millennia.
Screw it up, and we'll burn you at the stake!
