Ridley Scott To Produce Matt Kindt’s ‘Mind MGMT’
Matt Kindt’s Mind MGMT just debuted last year from Dark Horse Comics, but it has already been picked up by Twentieth Century Fox with Ridley Scott onboard to produce under his Scott Free banner. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg are onboard as producers. They have already begun the search for a writer to adapt the story.
“Mind MGMT” follows Henry Lime, who is the top agent for a government agency of psychic spies. After suffering from a breakdown, Lime causes the entire town to kill one another. Lime resurfaces years later, when he saves Meru, a true crime novelist who begins to investigate the mysterious agency.
“When I started this series, I pitched it to Dark Horse as ‘Here’s six issues that could be self-contained, but I’d love to do it for three years,'” Kindt told CBR last year. “Part way through those first six, they said it was doing great, so I can keep going,” he said. “Now I’ve got a three-year plan for it, and I’m doing it six issues at a time. I’m not making it in big chunks, so I have no idea what it’s like reading it in big chunks. It’s different for me too because with graphic novels, I finish the whole book first. This is different for me as a creator. It might be too much to read all at once. Who knows? I hope people embrace that monthly format.”

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
