20th Century Studios Has Won the Rights to Adapt Upcoming Graphic Novel NIGHT OF THE GHOUL
In a major bidding war, 20th Century Studios has won the rights to adapt the upcoming graphic novel, Night of the Ghoul, into a movie. The comic comes from Eisner- and Harvey-winning author Scott Snyder and illustrator Francesco Francavilla. Rob Savage is set to direct, with 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, and Dan Cohen producing.
This reteams studio, director, and producers of The Boogeyman, the adaptation of the Stephen King novel that 20th and Disney release next year. Snyder and Francavilla will be exec producers.
The story follows a father and son looking into the true story behind a long-lost horror film from the golden era of monster movies. But as they dig deeper, they risk unleashing the very thing the supposedly destroyed film had meant to keep hidden.
The first issue is out in print from Dark Horse Comics this week on Wednesday, October 5th.
