Another comic book adaptation is on its way, and with it will come Vampire Soldiers and hopefully lots and lots of blood. Read on for all the details on the upcoming big screen version of the Image Comics property Bloodstrike!

According to Variety the comic will be heading to the big screen with Adi Shankar’s 1984 Private Defense Contractors.

Producers on the project are Shankar, Bloodstrike scribe Rob Liefeld and Liefeld’s manager Brooklyn Weaver (Out of the Furnace).

Liefeld’s new angle, aimed at creating a franchise appeal, focuses on a Bloodstrike unit consisting of a team of super-soldiers who have secretly been imbued with vampire blood — making them an elite strike force feared by all enemies. The property launched in 1993 via Image Comics and sold over 30 million copies.

More as it comes.
