Spacedog Entertainment Graphic Novel Inspires New Film Starring Mischa Barton
Here's a little bit o' news from my day-job front at the comic book development company Spacedog:
Leomax Productions and Spacedog Entertainment join forces to produce a feature-length psychological horror film that will serve as a companion piece to the Spacedog graphic novel Walled In, which in turn will act as a prequel to the film.
Directed by France's Gilles Paquet-Brenner (UV, Pretty Things) and starring the OC's very own Mischa Barton (The Sixth Sense, Notting Hill) alongside co-stars Deborah Kara Unger (Payback, Sunshine), and Cameron Bright (Thank You for Smoking, X-Men: The Last Stand), Walled In is based on the novel Les Emmurés by Sergio Brusolo, author of the 2003 sci-fi animated feature The Rain Children.
Walled In, the movie, follows engineering graduate Sam Walczak, a demolitions expert following in her family's footsteps. Sam is hired to supervise the demolition of a mysterious building, an estate constructed long ago by an infanous architect named Malestrazza, a man who intombed his residents within his building's walls. Sam's time inside Malestrazza's home begins to unveil unknown details of the architect’s life, and the long-forgotten secrets of his astonishing house.
Illustrated by the extremely talented Dennis Calero (Legion of Super-Heroes, Peter David's current run on X-Factor), the graphic novel explores the life of Malestrazza, prior to the motion picture. The book is scheduled for a summer 2008 release. The movie - which is in post-production - is expected the following fall.
