Paul Soter (pictured) is taking a break from hanging with his Broken Lizard crew (the deranged gang behind BEERFEST and CLUB DREAD) to write the screenplay for DR. DETH WITH KIP AND MUFFY. The film will be based on characters created by Larry Hama, who also gave us the world of G.I. Joe.
Taking place in a post apocalyptic New Jersey, where cannibalistic mutants have overrun society, the human race has one hero left… the bounty hunter Dr. Deth and his two female companions, Kip and Muffy.
If you’re like me, you’ve never, ever heard of these characters. According to the press release (via ComingSoon), “Dr. Deth With Kip and Muffy” first appeared in 1982 in Marvel Comics’ “Bizarre Adventures #31” with the story and art by Larry Hama. Their next appearance was in holiday issue of “Bizarre Adventures #34” with a story by Larry Hama and the art by Bob Camp of “Ren & Stimpy” fame.
Framelight productions will be producing the film, which doesn’t have a director attached yet.
“As a long time fan of ‘Dr. Deth with Kip and Muffy’ since their first appearance,” states Framelight’s Co-President, Robert Robinson, “I could not be happier than to have Larry’s creation come to life via Paul Soter’s pen. He’ll bring the adventure, chaos and humor that this story has waited for.”
Cannibalistic mutants, adventure and chaos? I’m all for it.
