Will ‘Eve’ Kick Cassie Hack’s Cute Lil’ Butt?
Hey Relativity/Rogue Pictures, what the f*ck are you waiting for? While you’re sitting around letting Hack/Slash – Todd Lincoln’s long-delayed comic book adaptation of the same name – collect dust, an indie company by the name of Ratio Pictures is ripping off your idea and actually making the movie. You better hope it’s not good. For everyone else, read on for details on Eve, and let the race for who makes a better movie begin.
Indie banner Ratio Pictures is set to produce “Eve,” the story of a woman who tracks down and kills supernatural serial killers.
Brian Metcalf, Karoline Kautz and Elaine Hendrix will produce with Hugh Edwards exec producing.
Hendrix (pictured right) will also star along with Jordan Matthews. The script was penned and will be directed by Metcalf with principal photography scheduled to start next year.
Metcalf recently produced, directed and wrote “Fading of the Cries,” a supernatural action feature about a young man who must protect a teenage girl and a magic necklace from demonic forces.
“Fading,” which is in post-production, stars Brad Dourif, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Mackenzie Rosman, Hallee Hirsh and Jessica Morris along with Hendrix and Matthews. Watch for more on this as it comes in.
Are you going to do something about it?
Maybe you guys can have a cat fight or something, eh, eh?

Christopher Landon to Helm Feature Adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s ‘The Final Girl Support Group’
A new feature adaptation of author Grady Hendrix‘s slasher book The Final Girl Support Group is now on the way from Paramount Pictures, and Deadline reports that it’s found its director in Christopher Landon (Drop, Happy Death Day).
The two previously collaborated on My Best Friend’s Exorcism.
In The Final Girl Support Group, “Lynette is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.”
“But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.”
I wrote in my novel review for BD, “Hendrix puts his characters through the absolute wringer. It’s a bloody, vicious voyage for the flawed heroine, both physically and emotionally. In terms of action and horror, Support Group delivers breakneck pacing and thrills.”
Five years ago, Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (Mama, It, It Chapter Two) were attached to produce a planned series adaptation for HBO Max alongside Charlize Theron. While Theron is no longer producing, the Muschiettis remain on board under their Double Dream label.
Paramount Pictures is also developing Hendrix’s sci-fi novella, BadAsstronauts.
