The film adaptation of Hack/Slash, created by Tim Seeley and Stefano Caselli, has been in development for a long time.
Things appear to be moving forward as Marcus Nispel has been attached to direct it. Nispel directed the disappointing Conan the Barbarian along with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th and Pathfinder.
As you can see his track record does not fill me with much hope for this one. A shame as I do like the few issues of Hack/Slash that I have read.
Hack/Slash centers on Cassie Hack, a woman who symbolizes the cliche of the lone girl who survives at the end of every horror movie. In this case, the girl not only survived but has become a killer of killers. Along with a hulking protector named Vlad, Hack travels across the country hunting slashers in the vein of Halloween’s Michael Myers, Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees and A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger.
How do you feel about Nispel directing the film? The big question is who should play Cassie Hack?
