It shows major studios are pursuing standalone horror comics as viable screen fare for creator-owned IP.
Overview
- Amazon MGM is in development on a feature adaptation of Garth Ennis’s Freddie The Fix with the project not yet greenlit for production.
- Lawrence Lamont is attached to direct and Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell are writing the screenplay.
- Producers include Kimberly Steward and Alex Foster for K Period Media and Kenya Barris for Khalabo Ink Society, with Garth Ennis and several collaborators listed as executive producers.
