NIGHTFALL Vampire Prison Film Picked up by Sony Pictures

According to a recent report Sony Pictures has acquired the rights to the film adaptation of the vampire prison graphic novel Nightfall. The film was announced about a year ago, and Insidious director James Wan was attached to direct it, but that doesn't seem to be the case any longer. According to Bloody-Disgusting there's a rumor that Uros Stojanovic is in talks to replace him. I have no idea who this director is and I'm not familiar with the little work that he's done. 

I love the concept for this and it has potential to be a pretty awesome movie. The story follows a man who is sentenced to time in a prison that is run by vampires. The comic was published in 2001 and created by Scott O. Brown and artist Ferran Xalabarder.

I really wish Wan would have stayed on board the project. He's really become a great storytelling. I absolutely loved his last film Insidious. Hopefully whoever they get will be a solid choice that will turn this into a great film. The question is will they get Vin Diesel to play the lead role? Because that picture above sure looks like him.

Here is a short description of the graphic novel:

When industrious, right-wing survivalist David Paxton is sent to a tough Texas prison, he has no idea that it's secretly run by vampires using the inmates to feed on. Now, Paxton's one hope of escape is a desperate prison riot and an uneasy alliance with a ruthless killer named Robbart.
