Gangsters, demons, soul-trafficking, oh my!
David DiGilio will descend into the world of horror-noir in The Damned.
Dreamworks has selected the writer of Eight Below to adapt the Oni Press graphic novel by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt. The following is Oni’s official synopsis: During the prohibition era, gangsters grew rich on vices of the people, and rivalries between criminal organizations resulted in open war. But unknown to the masses, a more sinister power controlled the crime cartels, using greed, gluttony, lust, and other sins to fuel a much more lucrative trade: mortal souls. Three demon families â the Aligheris, the Roarkes, and the Verlochin â control soul-trafficking within the city, capitalizing on â”the rackets” to lead unfortunates into their grasp and poor Eddie is caught in the middle…
Sweeney Todd‘s Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald and Closed on Mondays Entertainment’s Eric Gitter are producing.
