KILL WHITEY DONOVAN is Being Adapted into a Movie by Hideout Pictures

Kill Whitey Donovan is a 5-issue period thriller comic series written by Sydney Duncan with art by Natalie Barahona. Now, it has been optioned for a film by Hideout Pictures with Sigrid Gilmer in charge of adapting the series into a script. The comic is produced by 12-Gauge Comics and published by Dark Horse Comics.

“KILL WHITEY DONOVAN revolves around two women, socialite Anna Hoyt and runaway slave Hattie Virgil, who pursue evil plantation owner Jim “Whitey” Donovan throughout the chaos of the Civil War.”

Duncan released the following statement:

“It’s so exciting to imagine Hattie and Anna’s story being realized on screen. KILL WHITEY DONOVAN was always a cinematic story in my mind and became even more so when it came to life in Natalie Barahona’s art. Everyone at Hideout got what we were trying to do at the comic-book level and it became apparent that the book was in good hands when the producers met with Sigrid Gilmer and came back raving about her being The One. Look, she’s brilliant. She’s funny and just one of those writers who is so dialed into the currents of culture and community and humanity.”

Barahona added:

“I’m thrilled at the possibility of seeing these characters realized on screen and I really look forward to how the actors would expand on each role. It would be something we don’t often get to see—two women going through a physically harrowing journey with only each other to rely on.”
