According to an interview conducted by FearNet with comic book creator Mark Wheatley, director Breck Eisner’s next project after his forthcoming remake of Escape From New York looks to be a movie based on the comic book Blood of the Innocent, written and drawn by Wheatley with co-writer Rickey Shanklin and artist Marc Hempel.
The film would adapt the 1985 comic book series that had Dracula battling against Jack the Ripper in period London; Eisner is working with writer Bill Marsilii to perfect the script.
Eisner still plans to direct the sci-fi adventure movie Flash Gordon, but according to Wheatley, he may try to tackle Blood of the Innocent first.
Stay tuned for more on this project.
