Master of horror, JOHN CARPENTER is back in action full blast it seems. F*ck yeah! He recently helmed the decent THE WARD and now he is attached to direct the demon chick flick DARKCHYLDE based on the comic by Randy Queen. Shite, they even put out a fly teaser poster to celebrate the news (see below)! What a great thing to hear on this Halloween morning!
DARKCHYLDE is about a good hearted southern teen cursed to become the creatures from her many recurring nightmares. Every time Ariel Chylde transforms, she sheds her skin and a new nightmare emerges from her to act out her deepest, darkest impulses. Sounds like most of my exes…
Following the release of test footage (scroll all the way down) by Richard Taylor’s Academy Award Winning Weta Workshop, John Carpenter and Sandy King’s Storm King Productions teamed up with Randy and Sarah Queen’s Darkchylde Ent to produce the film.
John Carpenter had this to say about the project: “Randy Queen’s hijacked angel, Ariel Chylde, is the best young female character since Laurie Strode in Halloween. Bringing Ariel and her dark mysteries to life should be quite an adventure for us all.”
Am pumped! This looks like it could b a winner! Knock it out of the park Carps!
Watch the WETA test footage for Darkshylde!
