In the Blacklight everything is clear....Kill 'em all!


Fox Atomic has acquired the rights to turn Zombie Studio’s original action property Blacklight into a feature film, comic book series and video game.

It is described as “a covert military action epic set twenty-five years in the future.” Both the game and movie will be written by Jason Dean Hall (Spread)

This concept art should help you get a feel of the kind of thing they are going for.


According to the official press release, everything will be intertwined. The movie, , video game, and comics will feature “the same characters and high caliber military action, but with unique, intersecting storylines that complement each other.”


I like the idea of this being connected through all the different media, but it just seems like a generic shoot 'em up at the moment. What's the betting that the Blacklight is either the name of the military unit you fight with or something that turns people into zombie monster creatures when it shines upon them. I think we need to hear a little more of the plot before excitement can commence.

Liking the concept art but sounds like one big money-making scheme - launch it over several genres and watch the bucks come rolling in! Guess i'm getting cynical in my old age. ;0)
