Comic book coming to life
If Hollywood made a film about an evil Rumpelstiltskin, why the hell not make one about the Pied Piper?
Zenescope Entertainment, who brought us comic books based on Final Destination and Se7e, are bringing their original title “The Piper” to the screen.
At their backs are Persistent Entertainment and Pantry Films to help them realize this. Persistent produced Southland Tales and the upcoming Nailed.
Here’s how Zenoscope describes “The Piper”: Present day Florida, a prestigious boarding academy where a musically gifted but misunderstood high school student named Sean stumbles upon a mysterious book that will give him the ability to finally get back at those who have wronged him the last few years. But when Sean realizes exactly what he has summoned, he knows that the price of revenge is certainly not worth the trouble.
In the same mold as classic villains such as Candyman, Freddie Kreuger and Pinhead itâs time to meet the newest breed of horror⦠It’s time to pay the Piper!
Indeed.
Dan Keston and Matthew Rhodes will produce.
