Akela Cooper, whose previous credits include penning M3GAN, Malignant, The Nun II, and the upcoming M3GAN 2.0, has been tapped to adapt The Lot, a horror comic book series from writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Renato Guedes put out by Bad Idea publishing.
Here’s the premise of The Lot, per Bad Idea:
The Lot is a horror story set in the most miserable, vicious pit of vipers—a Hollywood studio lot.Aviva Copeland has just landed the biggest job of her career, running a Hollywood studio—one of the few Black women to do so. But this is no ordinary studio because its backlot harbors the since abandoned soundstage where decades ago an authenticity-obsessed legendary filmmaker hired actual cult members to perform a real-life occult ritual for his latest horror masterpiece. Something evil awoke that day and in the bloody aftermath, the production was permanently shut down, the footage suppressed, and the soundstage that bore witness shuttered… until now. Aviva is about to learn that though the lot may have been closed for a half-century, it’s far from empty.
Cooper’s horror credits make it obvious that she’s well-equipped to take on the material. She’s also written on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, American Horror Story, and Luke Cage, which only makes me more excited.
The project is still in its early days, so it will be a while before we get any news about casting or if/when the adaptation will make its way to a screen near you. [end-mark]
