Not quite Expendable

Not all movies based on comics come from the traditional superhero genre — there’s still plenty of worthwhile material out there that might be off the beaten path. Intrepid Pictures managed to find one: THE EXPENDABLE ONE.

The production company scooped up the rights to the loopy Viper Comics graphic novel, and they were wise to do so — it’s a terrifically horrific little gem. The gleefully gory book revolves around an average chump named Twigs, whose science-geek friend creates a flesh-regenerating substance. With his newfound gruesome ability, Twigs finds himself enlisted by a sexy female Fed in pink lingerie to track down a savage serial killer who may in fact be a werewolf.

Intrepid (who also has BALLS OF FURY and THE STRANGERS coming up) has assigned writers Shane Kuhn and Brendan Cowles with bringing Twigs and his ghastly heroics to the screen.
