Universal Nabs Steve Niles' Criminal Macabre
August 14th, 2009
Yet another comic property is getting the big screen Hollywood treatment courtesy of Universal as the studio that horror built has picked up the rights to develop Steve Niles' Criminal Macabre.
Variety reports that Kyle Ward is being tapped to pen a script based upon the comic book miniseries created by Niles, which centers around a supernatural detective who doubles as hitman, taking out all the vampires, ghosts and other unsavory monsters who live among humans, hiding in the shadows by day and emerging at night.
Dark Horse's Mike Richardson will produce with Neal Moritz and his Original Film banner.
Look for more on this one soon!

He would be a good choice. And I can also see him as a potential Rick in The Walking Dead ... If he can fit it all in with his excellent work in Hung.
