Hot off its debut at New York Comic-Con, the comic book series WYTCHES has been acquired by New Regency for Brad Pitt's Plan B to produce, according to Deadline.
WYTCHES is written by bestselling and Eisner Award-winning author Scott Snyder and illustrated by award-winning artist Jock, who will be executive producers on the feature film adaptation. The series follows…
…Charles Rooks, a loving father who moves his family to a neighboring town in an attempt to help their teenage daughter Sailor recover from a disturbing run-in with a bully. She remains haunted by the traumatic incident, unsure of what actually occurred in the woods and unable to escape a darkness growing around her. When Sailor begins to see familiar shadowed figures, Charles must help his daughter survive a terrifyingly real and mythic presence rooted within the woods and the surrounding local towns.
WYTCHES is just the latest in a growing number of supernatural and genre projects that Plan B has recently set up at New Regency. Plan B’s Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, who produced WORLD WAR Z, also has an adaptation of the Charles Burns’s graphic novel BLACK HOLE that has Garth Davis attached to direct, as well as the thriller 3 VIDEOTAPES, which Ian McCulloch is writing.
