Horror. Vampires. Seductive huntresses. Creator and writer Jason Dube is teaming with director Wolfgang Meyer and producer Stacy Pippi Hammon to bring the eye-catching visuals of his dark and engaging Shadow Hunters comic to life as a feature-length, live-action film.
From the Press Release:
The official Shadow Hunters announcement was made during the recently concluded Miss Misery’s Days of Terror horror convention in Sacramento, California. Director Meyer (Model Hunger, Disciples) is currently penning the script with input from Dube. Hammon (a co-director of the Viscera Film Festival) completes the production team.
Shadow Hunters revolves around the lives of three teenagers seeking vengeance on a dark demon. Though they have supernatural powers, Jessika (a werewolf), Jenna (a vampire), and Renae (a witch) aren’t the monsters in the comic book. In the world of Shadow Hunters, sometimes the things that go bump in the night are the heroes themselves.
