Tim Seeley, creator of Hack/Slash comics has a new comic coming out. It's called Wild Game. It is already being coined as 30 Days of Night with werewolves. Underground Films and Daniel Alter are teaming up to produce a live-action big screen version of Wild Game with Kevin Seamus Fahey (Battlestar Galactica) set to write the screen play.
Here is the plot synopsis:
"In a world where Werewolves were long ago hunted nearly to extinction by humans and thought only to be urban legends, the few remaining packs live among us in secret. But, the beast can't be caged forever. Once a year: runaways, homeless people, anyone who won't be missed... are captured and brought to a secluded private destination to be hunted for game by the last living Werewolves on earth."
Bloody Disgusting is also showing some pretty cool preview art for the comic from illustrator Pasquale Qualano.
So, is it a comic inspiring a movie or a movie inspiring a comic? This might be a new trend coming if this and Mark Millar's
Nemesis take off.
Werewolves are always a tricky character to bring to the big screen and the synopsis does have the ring of
Predator to it so we'll see if this actually gets off the ground.
