Hack/Slash

1/13/12 - Marcus Nispel will direct Hack/Slash, Relativity’s adaptation of a horror-action comic book, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Alexandra Milchan, Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter are producing.  Hack/Slash, created by Tim Seeley and Stefano Caselli, centers on Cassie Hack, a woman who symbolizes the cliche of the lone girl who survives at the end of every horror movie. In this case, the girl not only survived but has become a killer of killers. Along with a hulking protector named Vlad, Hack travels across the country hunting slashers in the vein of Halloween's Michael Myers, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees and A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger.
