According to the Hollywood Reporter, Universal Pictures has hired Carey Malloy to adapt the horror comic Tag for the big screen.

The story in Tag is set in motion when an average Joe strolls down the street after a fight with his girlfriend and a random stranger tags him, handing off an ancient pagan curse. He begins to literally die, seeing his body decompose every day before his eyes. Cursed, he must either surrender or find the next victim to tag.

The comic book was written by comic veteran Keith Giffen and drawn by Kody Chamberlain.
