Conan the Barbarian was a bit of a flop, but the director of that movie, Marcus Nispel, is now looking towards his next project, with THR reporting the Friday the 13th filmmaker has signed on to direct Hack/Slash for Relativity Media.

The project is based on the horror comic book series created by Tim Seeley and Stefano Casselli. The story centres on Cassie Hack, a young woman who epitomises the surviving female character at the end of every horror movie. Now a trained killer, she travels the country, hunting down slasher-type serial killers, along with her protector, Vlad.

Hack/Slash has seen a number of screenwriters come and go, such as Todd Lincoln, Justin Marks, and Stephen Susco. It isn’t known if Relativity will hire a new writer, or if they will work off an earlier draft, and we don’t know either when it might shoot.
