Atmosphere Entertainment MM and Platinum Studios have made a deal to team on a live-action film based on the Platinum graphic novel Killing Demons, reports Variety.
Atmosphere's Mark Canton and Platinum's Scott Mitchell Rosenberg will produce.
"The graphic novel starts as a kid sees his family slain by supernatural creatures. He grows into a revenge-hungry demon hunter who must reprioritize when he finds some of the humans in his world are worse than the spirits," according to Variety.
Published last year, the novel was written by Peter Siegel and illustrated by Brent White. A screenwriter will be hired shortly.
Rosenberg said he and Canton will raise half the financing themselves, something Atmosphere does and Platinum Studios will do on another comic adaptation, Witchblade, with IDG Films and Relativity Media.
