Hack/Slash Movie

Wow, I just picked up this comic for the first time and liked it. Who's making the movie?

 

I thought Megan Fox was cast to play her?

 

i hope so

 

You had me at "breast-laden."

 

Yeah, but her resume with a very successful Micheal Bay/ Speilberg flick on it speaks volumes.

Besides, from what i've read of the comic, it's not like it's deep stuff. She'll do fine, and hopefully show more flesh.

 

What's this? What's this? As we wait for this movie to come out another with a similar premise is also in production! Check this **** out:

Meh. I doubt that film will get much recognition anyway, especially if Fox gets cast.

 

Definitely sucks for the creators of Hack/Slash. But this is the probably with a lot of these upstart studios who are snatching up comic properties now, most of them will never see the light of day, not matter how much they try to remind people that the film's merely been option. And while I love Hack/Slash, I will have to take issue with DDP, because having every issue of the comic say "Soon To Be A Film By Rogue Pictures", it's a little shameless. I don't think they should be using that as a selling point for their comic, when it's survived so long without stressing that association. To say nothing of the fact that they're not acknowledging the likelihood of the film never see a frame of footage shot. Even with a director attached, so much could go wrong that it'd be a shame if they've used the film to hype the comic (and vice versa), and then the film never comes to be. That's not gonna do much for DDP's reputation.

 

I think Megan Fox would be great for the role as Cassie. I mean, HACK//SLASH is great, but its not SHAKESPEARE. It's basically a hot broad with a freak on nature sidekick/body guard, kicking monster ass. I'd much rather see her in the role than Eliza Dusku.

 

From http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=8510:

A commercial director? That's... interesting. I love the comic book, but I'm honestly not expecting much from this movie. It's not that I think they can't do the books justice, because I don't think it'd be too difficult to translate it to film, but I just don't see this movie as much of a priority to anyone. It seems to me that this film will either just fall apart and be scrapped, or it'll be quietly produced and pushed aside. I also agree with the above poster who said that it's a bit sad the comic advertises its movie deal at the top of every issue. That's going to look doubly terrible if the film does get scrapped.
