Blumhouse has optioned Boom! Studios’ graphic novel, “Curse,” that was written Michael Moreci (Roche Limit) and Tim Daniel (Enormous) and illustrated by Colin Lorimer and Riley Rossmo, Heat Vision reports.
“The story centers on a widowed father who is desperate and financially broken from trying to save his child from a rare illness. Seizing the opportunity to claim a reward offered for the capture of a killer in his rural community, he inadvertently captures a werewolf. The question then becomes whether the lycan will be the broken family’s reluctant savior or its final destroyer.”
The comic was notable as it featured a black protagonist, an uncommon occurrence in comic publishing, explains the site.
Boom!’s Adam Yoelin will executive produce the project. Jason Blum and Couper Samuelson will produce for Blumhouse, while Ross Richie and Stephen Christy will produce via Boom!
