HACK/SLASH NEWS:

Lincoln to Direct 'Hack/Slash'

December 19, 2006 -- The comic book is set to become a major movie with Todd Lincoln directing. Lincoln, who is working on a rewrite of the second remake of "The Fly," told moviesonline.ca that Hack/Slash will have "a sprinkling of humor to balance the scares, but this will be a lean, vicious, blood-soaked, Hard-R fright fest. The goal is to create the ultimate slasher film". Hack/Slash is a series of comic books published by Devil's Due Productions, the focus of the series being a typical horror/slasher victim striking back and hunting slasher monsters. The property started as a series of one-shots, starting with Hack/Slash (later referred to by its story title Euthanized), followed by Girls Gone Dead (both in 2004), Comic Book Carnage and The Final Revenge of Evil Ernie (both in 2005). The first three were collected into the First Cut trade paperback in 2005. It received its first mini-series in 2005 called Land of Lost Toys followed by a collection of new short stories in a 2006 special issue called Trailers and a 25 cent preview issue called Slice Hard. The newest comic of Hack/Slash will feature horrormovie-character Chucky. The story will follow the events of the movie "Seed of Chucky".
