Deadline reports that New Regency have acquired the rights to Wytches for Brad Pitt's Plan B production house to produce. Scott Snyder (Batman) writes the comic book series which Jock (Dredd) provides artwork for. The two worked together on a pre-New 52 run which was met with universal critical acclaim. The Image Comics series, "follows Charles Rooks, a loving father who moves his family to a neighboring town in an attempt to help their teenage daughter Sailor recover from a disturbing run-in with a bully. She remains haunted by the traumatic incident, unsure of what actually occurred in the woods and unable to escape a darkness growing around her. When Sailor begins to see familiar shadowed figures, Charles must help his daughter survive a terrifyingly real and mythic presence rooted within the woods and the surrounding local towns." Both Snyder and Jock will serve as executive producers on the adaptation, though there's no word on a release date, cast or director at this point. What do you guys think?
