Hayter & Carver join forces to become Dark Hero

Producer Benedict Carver (‘Bratz’, ‘Doomsday’) and writer David Hayter (‘X-Men’, ‘Watchmen’ co-writer) have teamed up to become Dark Hero Studios. The new venture will focus on developing movie, television, Internet and video game projects in the action, science fiction and horror genres.

“Many people would love to have the studio-based producer gig, but if you want to build asset value through a library, you have to be more entrepreneurial and avoid giving away a lot of rights upfront,” Carver said. “David will create, write and direct movies and TV series for the company, but he’ll also be a magnet for other writers and directors to work with us.”

The new companies first venture will be a film called ‘Demonology’. Written by Hayter, he says the idea was inspired from his experience enrolled in an international high school in Japan.

“It’s about an American kid who goes to one of these schools in Belgium, but it brings my own horrible experiences of school to life,” Hayter said. — Variety
