The Sci-Fi Comic BLINK is Getting a Feature Film Adaptation
The rights to Tapes Media’s digital comic titled Blink has been picked up by Counterpart Pictures and they plan on adapting the sci-fi story as a feature film.
The comic was created by former DC Comics editor Rex Ogle with art created by Eduardo Francisco. If you’re not familiar with the story, it focuses on “a young African-American girl pushed to the brink — until she screams at the top of her lungs, seemingly causing anything and everything to freeze indefinitely. Alone and afraid, she wanders around New York City while being stalked by an ancient evil entity.”
Russell Sanzgiri will be an executive producer on the film and some of his previous projects include Netflix’s Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine’s Day Special and the Fullscreen series Guilty Party: History of Lying. He was also producer of the documentary Changing the Game. Blink definitely sounds like it’ll be his most interesting project.
Tapas Media CEO Chang Kim had this to say in a statement:
“Comics have always been a great source of original stories for film and TV, and we’re excited to help creators like Rex and Eduardo publish new and captivating stories like ‘Blink’ on Tapas. To further help develop these stories and pitch to studios and production companies for ancillary development opportunities has been an incredibly exciting endeavor.”
Does this sound like a film project you’d be interested in watching?
