Darkchylde Live Action Movie
Randy Queen's popular comic book series Darkchylde is going to be adapted into a live action movie! For those who don't know, Darkchylde is the story of Ariel Chylde, a cursed teen who can become the creatures from her many nightmares, and then must save her small town from the forces of darkness she's set free. Director John Carpenter has been hired to helm the movie, it was timely announced on Halloween. And the visual effects Weta Digital (Peter Jackson's company) is also involved.
Director John Carpenter explains why he's interested in directing the movie Darkchylde:
"Randy Queen's hijacked angel, Ariel Chylde, is the best young female character since Laurie Strode in Halloween. Bringing Ariel and her dark mysteries to life should be quite an adventure for us all."

And comic book artist Randy Queen is definitely happy that Carpenter joins the project:
"Beyond thrilled that John Carpenter, one of our most important, and legendary genre directors, and the man responsible for such landmark films as The Thing, and Halloween has come on board with Weta Workshop to help bring the nightmarish tale of Ariel Chylde to the silver screen. As a horror fan, the thought of Carpenter and Weta together, beautiful dreamscapes, and multiple transformations, makes me incredibly excited. There is a reason nearly his entire catalogue has, or is being remade, and it's because Carpenter is a genius."
