Comic-Con ’11: ‘Mutant Chronicles’ Director’s ‘Last Blood’
First announced way back in 2008, Simon Hunter has been set to direct Last Blood, a live action adaptation of the Keenspot graphic novel that takes place after a zombie apocalypse, when vampires must battle to protect the last surviving humans to keep alive the necessary blood supply.
Hunter helmed the terrible Mutant Chronicles, the actioner that stars Thomas Jane, John Malkovich, Ron Perlman and Devon Aoki, as well as the James Purefoy-starrer Lighthouse. The pic will be formally announced at Comic-Con this weekend.
Last Blood will be produced by Ironclad exec producer Christian Arnold-Beutel as well as Red Giant Media’s Aimee Schoof, Isen Robbins and Benny R. Powell, and Keenspot’s Chris and Bobby Crosby. The Crosby siblings created the graphic novel with illustrator Owen Gieni, and Bobby Crosby wrote the script with Nick V. Sterling. “Last Blood” was published as an online comic in 2006, drawing almost 20 million readers around the world. Two prequel novels are in the works and they will be published this Halloween on multiple platforms.
Based on an unpublished story written by Adam and Daniel Cooper, the zombie-comedy package I Used to Eat Brains, Now I Eat Kale has found a home at Amazon MGM Studios.
Ryan Gosling will produce the film adaptation of the 42-page tale, THR reports.
The website previews, “Story details are being kept hidden, but it is described as being set in a ‘post-post-apocalyptic’ world where former zombies struggle to reintegrate.”
The Hollywood Reporter also notes in today’s report, “[Ryan] Gosling is not attached to star in it at this stage, and there is no director on board yet.” Stay tuned for further updates.
Adam and Daniel Cooper are scripting the feature film adaptation.
Gosling and Jessie Henderson produce via their General Admission banner.
