ComingSoon.net has learned that comic actor Jay Baruchel (’Tropic Thunder’, ‘She’s Out of My League’) has been at work on a script for a slasher film titled ‘Pig’.

Baruchel hopes to make his directorial debut with his horror script. At one point, he had been writing it as a comic book with plans to adapt it as a movie later, but the idea’s transition to film seems to be moving forward.

Baruchel had this to say…

I’m trying to get that going as best I can, ’cause all I want to do is direct horror movies in Montreal for the rest of my life.

Without giving too much away, it’s a 21st century reimagining of the slasher film with a lot of socio-racial commentary, that’s all I’ll say.
