The Thrilling Horror Comic 'Exquisite Corpses' Is Coming to the Cinema
Get ready for a chilling adventure as the bestselling horror comic, 'Exquisite Corpses' by James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh, is set to make its way to the big screen. This gripping tale, published by Image Comics, has already captivated readers with its unique blend of suspense and dark humor. Now, it's time for audiences worldwide to experience the thrill of this deadly game in a whole new way.
The story unfolds during a bizarre Halloween tradition where America's wealthiest families unleash 12 of the world's most dangerous killers on an unsuspecting small town. The catch? Only one killer can be the last one standing. For the residents of Oak Valley, Maine, survival is the ultimate goal. With over 500,000 copies sold since its debut in May, 'Exquisite Corpses' has become a sensation, and now it's taking its terrifying game to the movies.
Tiny Onion, a production company led by Tynion, is joining forces with Lyrical Media to bring this thrilling concept to life. The film will be produced by Tynion alongside Alexander Black and Arlen Konopaki, with Walsh and Lyrical's Jon Rosenberg serving as executive producers. Their vision is grand: a franchise starter with the potential to expand into live-action films, animation, and video games, all centered around this deadly game.
But that's not all! The partnership will also include an adaptation of Tynion's short film turned one-shot comic, 'Room Service'. This sinister hotel service allows clients to commit their ideal murder scenarios, adding another layer of intrigue to the already complex narrative.
Tynion and filmmaker PK Colinet will co-write the feature, bringing their unique creative energy to the project. As Tynion expresses, these projects were crafted with love and care, and he's excited to bring that same energy to the big screen. With 'Exquisite Corpses' and 'Room Service' in the works, the horror genre is about to get a whole lot more thrilling and visually stunning.
