Joe Carnahan Feels Undying Love, Adapting Vampire Graphic Novel

November 28, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in 2011, Warner Bros. picked up rights to Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman’s graphic novel, Undying Love. Now Deadline reports that The Grey and A-Team director Joe Carnahan has signed up to helm the film version.

The graphic novel is about ‘an ex-soldier who falls for a vampire, though in order to be with her, he must take on her creator. And that creator happens to be protected by an army of mobsters (and undead beasts) in the Hong Kong underworld.’ Coker and Freedman also wrote the first draft of the movie script.

Carnahan commented, “I really took to it [the graphic novel], and the metric I use is how fast I come up with ideas and an outline, and this brought about a bunch of ideas. It is a little out of my wheelhouse, taking place in China with mysticism and swordplay, but there is a lot of potential here.”

Alexandre Aja was previously interested in directing, but nothing came of that, so now Carnahan has stepped in.

Alexandre Aja Eyes Undying Love Comic Adaptation

March 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Alexandre Aja has a lot of fans in horror circles thanks to Switchblade Romance, The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha. Now he’s heading into the world of comic adaptations as Deadline reports he’s in early negotiations to direct a movie version of Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman’s Undying Love.

The comic follow an ex-soldier who falls for a girl who happens to be a vampire. The only way the two can be together is if the man takes on the vampire who created her, which also means fighting an army of monsters in the Hong Kong underworld. The story mixes traditional vampire lore with Chinese monster myths and the Hong Kong action genre.

It could certainly make an interesting movie, with plenty of Aja’s beloved violence, mixed with full on martial arts action.
