‘Slayer’ Seeks to Annihilate Demonic Knights
Hitman: Agent 47 producer Adrian Askarieh and indie producer Giulio Marantonio have optioned Slayer, a spec script by newcomer Joel Dorland, writes THR.
The plot is pretty metal, centering on a simple fisherman who, when his wife is kidnapped and his village slaughtered, trains for 20 years to become the greatest warrior alive in order to wreak vengeance on the four demonic knights responsible.
The script was featured on the Blacklist script website in fall 2016 and described as Gladiator by way of Quentin Tarantino (it most definitely sounds like it’s inspired by Kill Bill).
The producers are developing the project not just as a movie, but also holistically in an attempt to deepen its roots and maybe kick-start a viable brand in the process, add the site. They have engaged Tim Daniel and artist Christian DiBari to make a one-shot graphic novel that they hope to publish as well as send off with the script to financiers when the time comes. They are also packaging it with a yet-to-be-announced filmmaker.
Daniel is currently writing “Atoll” and “Fissure” for Vault Comics, and may be best known as the writer and co-creator of “Enormous”. DiBari is a horror artist who is drawing “Magdalena”, an upcoming title from Image Comics.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!
As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.
Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights.
