Comic Book Movie Adaptation #___

Hack/Slash, the growing-in-popularity comic by Todd Seeley and Stefano Caselli is one of the newest announcements for a movie adaptation.

According to Variety, Rogue Pictures acquired the rights to the series in 2006, and recently have tagged on a screenwriter and director. Justin Marks (who is also working on a Street Fighter film), is set to pen the adaptation, while Todd Lincoln will make his directing debut with the film.

The comic itself tells the story of one Cassie Hack, an orphaned child of a 'slasher', who has grown up to become a tough-as-nails (and attractive) young woman who travels across America in search of slasher murderers in order to do away with them with vigilante justice. And a baseball bat.

Female heroics on the scale of Buffy, minus the vampires.

Still, at one point there was a rumor going around that actress Megan Fox was to be approached for the role, which is A-OK in my books! Look for production on this film to begin later this year!
