The Wrap, to the thrill of all vampire fans, broke the story that Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead (2015) writer-director Kiah Roache-Turner will adapt Richard Kadrey’s original screenplay Dark West.
Kadrey, the New York Times Best sellers’ author of the Sandman Slim fantasy series, looks to develop Dark West into a graphic novel. In addition to the Sandman Slim series, Kadrey has developed comic book story arcs on Lucifer and Hellblazer.
Dark West is a vampire revenge thriller set on the back roads of Texas. Set in the same vein of the classic ’80s road horror film The Hitcher, the story follows two car thieves who accidentally crash into a pair of vampires in the middle of the night.
