ShockTillYouDrop.com exclusively revealed the first look at concept art from the big-screen adaptation of Steve Niles 'Wake the Dead'.
The film, a modern-day revamp of Frankenstein set on a college campus, is set up with Jay Russell directing and Holding Pictures producing. WETA is at work on creature designs for the film. The concept art revealed is the work of WETA's Gino Acevedo.
Niles told the website that Russell and screenwriter James V. Hart have completed a script for the film.
"I just read the screenplay, and I can say without a doubt that the screenwriters knocked it out of the park," Niles told ShockTilYouDrop. "The script captures the comic and goes way beyond. Honestly, I couldn't be happier. It's everything I imagined and more. Jay and Jim expanded the story beautifully, adding to both the haunting romance and the straightforward horror. I think fans are in for something special."
