The project is set up at RKO, with Todd Lincoln attached to direct. Lincoln is also producing with Daniel Alter.
Set in the world of alien abductees, the Devil Due’s comic centers on a seen-it-all and logical medical examiner whose faith in the rational is shattered when she runs afoul a brutal murder of a supposed alien abductee. The case puts her on the path chasing a serial killer working in the alien abductee community who may or may not be human.
The comic is based on true events, and is consider one of the scariest comics ever put into the market. Apparently a woman actually approached Whitley with her true accounts of alien horrors. Whitley took her story and blended it with several other accounts.
The medical examiner in the comics is Lynn Devlin. She comes across bodies that have been mutilated by having their internal organs removed, but with clean and measured incisions. The bones of the victims have been pulverized, and the bodies have salt water filling them. What makes it even more strange is that the town is nowhere near the ocean, and the victims are all part of an alien abduction group. She has to figure out if a human is killing alien abduction members, or is an alien to blame.
Stuart Paul most recently has been in the comic book news since his first comic that created just recently began it's run at DC/Wilstorm, "Ides of Blood." If you haven't picked up a copy yet, the press release has described it as a mix of two HBO show's "True Blood" and "Rome." Although Paul has insisted that he came up with the concept before either show was on the air.
Paul also has had some luck in the screenwriting department and that has obviously lead to the goodness of his hiring for the alien project. The goodness prior today's new, was that his spec,
Terminal Point has been snagged by the makers of the prequel to
The Thing.
