Sci-Fi Horror Comic ‘Night and Fog’ En-route to the Big Screen
Source: Variety
The Sci-Fi horror comic Night and Fog has been optioned by producers Gil Alder and Shane McCarthy. Alder is no novice when it comes to adapting comic books for the big screen. Having previous successes with Superman Returns and Constantine as well as his work on Tales of The Crypt.
Night and Fog is set during World War 2, where an infectious mist is unleashed on a military base, causing its victims to turn into supernatural creatures of the night. The situation becomes far worse when the survivors try to destroy them, only to witness them change into something even more terrifying than before. The seemingly unstoppable creatures adapt to all efforts to eradicate them, becoming even more invulnerable with every attack.
Comic books have been ripe ground for movie makers over the last few years. Which have seen several comics adapted with spectacular results, even ones that it seemed doubtful would work, Watchmen being a prime example.
To be honest until today I’d never even heard of Night and Fog, but from what I’ve read so far I think the comic would make a great movie, definitely one I’d want to watch anyway.
I’ll keep you updated as it develops.
