Over at Movies Online they’ve gotten word that Glenn Danzig has turned in his first draft of GEROUGE, the upcoming flick based on his comic of the same title. Says one of the producers about the script:
It’s pretty gruesome. A few scenes have been added that are not in the original story. One is particularly twisted. Would you expect any less?
Um, considering that Danzig looks like the bastard son of Satan and an NFL linebacker, no. The story itself sounds pretty damn cool, especially since it’s set in New Orleans which always rocks!
The movie takes place in New Orleans at the turn of the 20th century and tells the story of Papa John Carrefour, who believed he was the baddest Voodoo. But then a young Ge-Rouge came to town and started getting more and more attention. Papa John was jealous so he set up Ge Rouge to have him murdered and succeeded at giving him a swamp grave.
Years later a girl named Kulev finds the body of Ge Rouge and he is brought back to life. Just thinking about revenge, he makes Kulev his Voodoo Queen. Together they now want to kill Papa John Carrefour. But Papa John sends Zombies after the two to stop them….
