A comic book becoming a movie? I know, it sounds impossible – even improbable – but that’s the news.

Devil’s Due comic The Nye Incidents will be helmed for the big screen by director Todd Lincoln, who’ll also be tackling a Twitter-based zombie movie. #surewhynot The comic, written by Whitley Strieber (Communion) and Craig Spector, follows a medical examiner who doesn’t believe in aliens. No, not even ALFs, as hilarious as they are. However, when an alien abductee murder case comes across her desk, and she ends up chasing a serial killer who might not be human, her faith in the logical is shaken. Then she teams up with David Duchovny for a couple seasons, nerds will briefly worship her, and finally we won’t hear from her ever again.

Lincoln will produce alongside Daniel Alter (Hitman) for RKO. (Hollywood Reporter)

It’s Finally Here, A Twitter-Based Zombie Movie

Here’s some news that warms the heart. It just goes to show that if you work hard and also have Stephen King‘s super-writing powers coursing throughout your DNA, you too can find success in Hollywood.

King’s son, Joe Hill, just sold the film rights for his short story Twittering From The Circus Of The Undead to Mandalay Pictures. To be directed by Todd Lincoln, the story is told entirely via tweets from a teenage girl as she and her family are attacked by zombies during a road trip. But don’t groan yet. Sensing that the zombie trend could be reaching critical mass, producers have decided to take liberties with the story in order to keep it fresh. So, the zombies are out and there’s no word yet on what new Joe Hill-approved monster will replace them.

Maybe it’s Dr. Jekylls. We haven’t really seen too many Dr. Jekylls hit the big screen. (THR)
