The world first met the character known as Sandman Slim back in 2009, and he has to date appeared in eight books in author Richard Kadrey’s urban fantasy series. A ninth Sandman Slim novel is on the way next year, and we’ve just gotten word that a feature adaptation is in the works!

Per Deadline, Studio 8 has picked up the rights to the New York Times bestseller’s series. Kel Symons is attached to adapt the novels, which are being eyed as a potential franchise.

The series revolves around James “Sandman Slim” Stark, a fast talking, hard-boiled, supernatural vigilante who escapes from Hell to avenge his girlfriend’s murder and hunt down the magicians responsible for getting him sent “downtown.”
