Looks like more graphic novels are getting the big-screen treatment…
Veteran Hollywood producer Lloyd Levin (WATCHMEN, HELLBOY) is with partnering with Stranger Comics to launch Foundry Comics, and will draw inspiration from the catalogue as a source of inspiration for upcoming film stories.
Word is 4 to 6 graphic novels will be released per year under Foundry Comics, many of which will be appropriated to the big-screen. Various genres will be covered, but there’s one in particular that has already caught our eye.
QUINCEY MORRIS is a graphic novel written by Steven Katz. The story centers on the little known American cowboy who slayed Dracula in Bram Stoker’s tale. Peep the angle Katz has taken and let us know if you think it would make for a good film:
New York City, 1897. A city poised, as it enters the twentieth century, to become the leading metropolis of the modern era. But when an ancient and all-but-forgotten evil arrives in the city’s teeming port and threatens its very future, New York Police Detective Sergeant Charles Fisher has no choice but to recall from his self-banishment the legendary vampire slayer, QUINCEY MORRIS–killer of the notorious Count Dracula.
