Rights to the series have been sold
Back on January 30, 2008, I used my Rotten Truth blog to show a bit of love for Image Comics’ “XXXombies.” In “Hey, Hollywood…Make This”, I called it “Boogie Nights meets the George C. Scott-starring Hardcore mashed together in a whole grain George A. Romero sandwich wrap.”
Guess what? A screenplay is now in the works!
“Right now I’m writing a screenplay for ‘XXXombies’ with [series co-creator] Kieron Dwyer,” the series’ Rick Remender tells MTV News. “The transition was smooth, because I took the script that I did and then Kieron and I broke it down into a treatment and did three or four passes to get the story perfect, and now it’s just a matter of breaking the treatment down and copying bits of dialogue from the comic script, rewriting, and new dialogue.”
While MTV couldn’t get Remender to divulge any more details about the screen adaptation, ShockTillYouDrop.com has learned the rights have been sold to a production entity. Learn more about “XXXombies” here.
