Rogue Pictures and director Todd Lincoln are bringing killer comicbook series 'Hack/Slash' to the bigscreen.
Rogue Pictures, the genre arm of Universal-based Focus Features, has acquired feature rights to the comicbook series "Hack/Slash."
Video helmer Todd Lincoln is attached to direct, and Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter are producing.
Lincoln will write the script with Martin Schenk, his collaborator on a remake of "The Fly" at Fox Searchlight. Howard Sun is co-producer.
Created by Tim Seeley and Stefano Caselli, comicbooks from Devil's Due Publishing center on Cassie Hack, a young woman who travels the country, taking on homicidal maniacs and serial killers along the way.
Producers also are developing a Fox feature based on the vidgame "Hitman" with Vin Diesel attached.
Under Dimension co-prexy Andrew Rona, Rogue has become an ambitious genre pic maker.
Rogue, which next releases "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" and "Waist Deep," has projects including the Spyglass Ping-Pong saga "Balls of Fury" and a redo of "The Hitcher" with Platinum Dunes.
