HISTORY REPEATING
August 25, 2011 – Los Angeles, CA – Asylum Press announced today that Undead Evil, a gritty new four-issue horror comic book mini-series, will debut in comic shops nationwide on October 5, 2011, just in time for the Halloween season. The books will be distributed through Diamond Comic Distributors, Haven Distributors and Tony Shenton.
Written by Frank Forte (Asylum of Horrors, Warlash, Vampire Verses) and drawn by fan favorite artist Nenad Gucunja (Asylum of Horrors, Warlash), with cover by acclaimed gaming concept designer Ben Olson (Shogo M.A.D, Drakan, Drakan II), Undead Evil takes place in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina where a centuries old family curse is reignited by an undead voodoo priest. When paranormal researcher Alfred Carter is summoned by the ghost of his ancestor, he must travel to The Big Easy to cleanse his bloodline. What he finds are untold family secrets and a descent into madness. This disturbing tale can be described as H.P. Lovecraft meets Angel Heart with voodoo zombies.
"It's a twisted Lovcraftian, zombie voodoo thriller," says writer/artist Frank Forte, of Undead Evil, "I've always been a Lovecraft fan, and his influence has always creeped into my stories. I wanted to do a tale that had a Lovcraftian tone without redoing what's been done before. So the influence is there, but I'm adding many other scenarios that come from my years of reading and creating horror tales. I did quite a bit of research on Voodoo. I think this is going to be very dark."
Undead Evil #1 (of 4), a 32-page black and white comic book, goes on sale in stores in early October. Retailers can pre-order Undead Evil #1from Diamond Previews August catalog (Asylum Press section - page #249). This title carries a Diamond Code of AUG110860.
Diamond Comic Distributors gave Undead Evil #1 a "Zombieriffic" in its August Previews catalog. It is now featured on Diamond Previews World.

PINOCCHIO THE MOVIE: UPDATE
GUILLERMO DEL TORO |
We are still waiting for the phone to ring with good news on Pinocchio. It has been frustrating waiting around for a response from the studios after such a momentous ramp up. It's like rallying up a mob of Vikings to raid a castle. We've sharpened our weapons and strapped on the armor. The night before we held a pep rally with beer, fight songs and head butts. We woke up early to consume a hearty breakfast and stretch. Then, as we charged for the entrance, we discovered the opposing team is out on a boat ride. So we plopped down on the grass to wait. The last I've heard, the two interested studios are the very two that I felt would be a perfect collaboration for the film. Either way, we win. Cross them bone.
Although the movie is not greenlit yet, it has made promising leaps over the past year. Produced by Guillermo Del Toro (THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, HELLBOY, PAN'S LABYRINTH) and The Jim Henson Company, it received a development deal from French studio Pathe in the spring. That money was used to engage a development team of artists for three months throughout the summer to create the look of the film, along with a script and statues of the characters Pinocchio and Geppetto. Joining me in the Director's chair is animation veteran Mark Gustafson (Fantastic Mr. Fox, The PJs and Return to Oz). Nick Cave (SCREAM - all) and Warren Ellis (RED) will write the musical songs and compose the score. MacKinnon and Saunders (MARS ATTACKS!, Tim Burton's CORPSE BRIDE) will be doing puppet fabrication. Pathe has already expressed their enthusiasm for the film and has agreed to match an American studio for the total budget. In March, we took our demented adaptation of Pinocchio out and about Hollywood. We pitched to a handful of studios including Sony, Film District, Dreamworks, Legendary, MGM and Paramount. It has been a long seven years since the first time I sat down with Guillermo for lunch and told him my idea to turn Pinocchio into a stop motion feature film, but it has all been worth it. I'll keep you updated where it goes. |
