Horror studio picks up film rights to comic

Sorrow, Nevada. It sounds like a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to be attacked by angry, restless spirits there.Actually, Sorrow is a fictional town in a comic book of the same name, which is being adapted into a film by Twisted Pictures, according to Shock Till You Drop. Michael Hidalgo, whose "Butcherhouse Chronicles" script will be going into production at Platinum Dunes, will be writing the screenplay.
Sorrow is being described as The Exorcist meets the dreadful atmosphere of Twin Peaks. Based on a comic by Rick Remender, Seth Peck, and Francesco Francavilla, which was published through Image Comics, it centers around a town ravaged by nuclear testing where the population is supposedly zero. However, a young woman searching for her Native American ancestry soon finds there are locals in Sorrow; but whether they’re actually among the living becomes another question.
"Rick, Seth and Francesco have created a throwback to '70s and '80s horror/thriller films with the perfect mix of terror and memorable characters. The idea is to make a great film that resonates with fans of the genre," said Hidalgo.
