Zenescope Entertainment has partnered with Director/Producer Jack Heller and his newly formed Assemble Media, to bring some of the company’s most beloved titles to film, TV, and the ever-growing new media landscape.
They have begun development on a feature film of Zenescope’s best selling anthology horror series, Grimm Tales of Terror. In the Comic Book series, Zenescope goes back to its horror roots as the publisher known for re-inventing classics and delves into an entirely new bag oftricks. The series spins classic stories, and modern urban legends into brand new fables, that creep out in a whole new way.
Of Grimm Heller said “So many of us horror fans grew up on comic books and horror anthology’s, with Grimm Tales of Terror, Ralph and Joe have crafted a dangerously fun and frightening recipe for horror. With so many tales to choose from, I look forward to finding the most horrific ways to entertain audiences.”
Last Saturday, Heller joined Zenescope founders Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco at Zenescope’s New York Comic Con panel where they announced their work on Grimm Tales of Terror and gave the crowd a sneak peak at their first collaboration, a short film based on the company’s best selling comic book “Robyn Hood”.
The short, directed by Jack Heller, stars Banshee’s Lili Simmons in the title role and is now available via the Zenescope website, Popboom.com, and across multiple social media platforms.
Like “Robyn Hood” they plan to develop “Tales of Terror” while simultaneously producing digital content around the project.
Heller is Producing Writer/Director S. Craig Zahler’s Brawl in Cell Block 99 starring Vince Vaughn, which is currently shooting in NYC, and is also producing an upcoming remake of the cult horror classic Puppet Master.
Zenescope Entertainment is currently in various stages of development on multiple film and TV projects based on their best selling comic book series, including Syfy channel’s newest show “Van Helsing”.
