Studio 407 has announced that renowned producer Gil Adner and Shane McCarthy have optioned a film version of their sci-fi horror property ‘Night and Fog’, via the following press release.

No stranger to comic book material, Adler has produced such comic book films as ‘Constantine’, ‘Superman Returns’, as well most recently ‘Dead of Night’ which was based on the popular Italian comic book ‘Dylan Dog’.

Said Adler. “This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one. And having produced the ‘Tales from the Crypt’ series and some Dark Castle horror films, I can say horror’s a genre I know intrinsically. But what really appealed to me wasn’t so much the genre trappings, but rather the characters that really drive this story. It’s a great high-concept that blends the gothic horror of the Hammer films with the sci-fi horror of ‘Aliens’ and ‘The Thing’.”

Tied to an unsolved mystery from World War 2, ‘Night and Fog’, tells the story of a ‘Frankenstein’ like infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Caught in between, is a security officer on the base who must escape the gauntlet of horror to save his children before the creatures kill them or the fog infects them.

‘Night and Fog’ is currently available in comic shops in the single issue format and digitally on I-Phone through Comixology. It will be hitting stores in a trade format April/May 2010.
