Cinescape reports...
"Hey, I work as a video-game developer and it looks like our next big game is going to be HACK/SLASH. It's based a comic book series. We were also told that there's big movie plans in the works for this property and people here are expecting to talk with the producers to time the launch of the game to the film."
We've heard about HACK/SLASH. Created and written by Tim Seeley, it's a comic book published by Devil's Due Productions that has two issues under its belt so far. The comic follows the investigations of Cassie Hack, the daughter of an infamous serial killer that now puts an end to the carnage created by other slashers. Cassie's sidekick is a hulking, masked ex-slasher named Vlad and together the two of them face off against various supernatural menaces and killers.
Last March Variety reported that a HACK/SLASH movie was in fact in development. The rights to the comic were acquired by producer Priue Universe Productions Adrian Askarieh (SPY HUNTER). Also mentioned as producers on the HACK/SLASH project were Chuck Gordon (DIE HARD) and Daniel Alter (2176).
It's interesting to note that Devil's Due also publishes a comic based on Sam Raimi's ARMY OF DARKNESS horror film which features Bruce Campbell's Ash character, the hero of Raimi's EVIL DEAD movies. New Line Cinema had been considering adding the character of Ash into a proposed FREDDY VS. JASON sequel, until recently director Sam Raimi squashed the idea. Could New Line be involved in a HACK/SLASH movie at this stage of development? Or could it be that instead someone's got an idea to have Cassie Hack battle these two crazed slashers?
