David Goyer Signs On To Direct Mignola and Golden’s BALTIMORE!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I keep meaning to pick up the new book BALTIMORE, OR THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER AND THE VAMPIRE, an “illustrated novel” by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden. I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Sounds like David Goyer must have found time to pick up a copy, though, because VARIETY announced today that Goyer’s going to direct the film for New Regency, with Mignola and Golden actually writing the script.
Here’s the description from VARIETY’s story:
Just-published by Bantam, the graphic novel tells the story of the awakening of supreme evil on Earth. Lord Henry Baltimore is bitten by a demonic vampire bat on a WWI battlefield. The plague destroys his family, and Baltimore creates a team to hunt and fight the Red King, the embodiment of all evil.
Mignola’s also getting ready to see his most famous creation back on the bigscreen as Guillermo Del Toro wraps up principal photography on HELLBOY 2. It’s a great time to be a Mignola fan.
Of course, it’s probably an even better time to be Mignola, wouldn’t you guess?
