Speaking exclusively with CINESCAPE's Eric Moro, Dark Horse Comics President Mike Richardson gave us a vision of the film future of Dark Horse -- from movies that are in production (HELLBOY) to ones announced as in development (30 DAYS OF NIGHT) and other projects that haven't been officially mentioned.

"We have a great project with Eli Roth, who just did CABIN FEVER, and it's a sensational project. I'm really excited about it," Richardson says. "It's a horror project and its one of the creepiest things I've heard in a long, long time. We haven't taken it out yet; we're just getting ready and he's finishing up some obligations he has, but we'll be taking it out very soon."

Another new property, titled SIERRA LEON, has found a home with Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney's production company, Section Eight. And there may be another cult comic book like HELLBOY waiting in the wings for its soon-to-be-announced movie deal. "We're negotiating a deal right now for GRENDEL, which will be announced soon we hope."
