Being as it’s Halloween, what a perfect time to announce that John Carpenter’s next film will be a scary comic book adaptation. He’ll helm the film version of Darkchylde, based on the popular comics created by Randy Queen about a young girl named Ariel Chylde who regularly sheds her skin and turns into her deepest, darkest nightmares. Carpenter’s first feature film since 2001, The Ward, recently premiered at Toronto and though he was rumored to be directing Hilary Swank in Fangland, it seems like Darkchylde is going to be next for the horror master behind Halloween, The Thing, They Live, Christine and more. We’ve got additional details on Darkchylde as well as a video of WETA test footage after the jump.
Richard Taylor of WETA helped create this movie test footage/trailer for the film a few months ago and it gives a great idea of what this property has to ofter as a feature film. It’s slightly NSFW.
