Platinum Studios has hired SAHARA's writers Joshua Oppenheimer and Tom Donnelly to write DEAD OF NIGHT, which will be based on the Italian comic series DYLAN DOG and inspired by events in two DYLAN DOG graphic novels.

The graphic novels centers on an ex-cop turned private investigator, who is one of the few living humans to know the truth about the supernatural beings that exist on the fringes of the modern world. He takes on cases involving vampires, werewolves, zombies, and other strange creatures -- sometimes as adversaries, and sometimes as clients. He always gets his manalive, dead, or undead.

The film is budgeted at $35 million.
