Scott O. Brown’s ‘Nightfall’ is being adapted.

If I may be cheeky with this [enable bad pun insertion], Hollywood is sucking all the vampire stories out from every source imaginable. Since this week is Twilight week here at WAMG….er, ok it’s not because we aren’t 14 year old girls, or worse – ladies in their 20’s thinking they are younger than what they are and still swoon over lead actors out of the Twilight franchise.

Let’s face it, the vampire stories are blood-boiling hot right now. I haven’t read this graphic novel, but it’s premise sounds promising. Let the press release speak!

William Stuart’s Aurora Productions and Platinum Studios, Inc. (OTCBB: PDOS), an entertainment company that controls an international library of more than 5,600 comic book characters which it adapts, produces and licenses for all forms of media, have partnered to bring Platinum Studios’ graphic novel “Nightfall” to the big screen.

“Nightfall” tells the story of a man who finds out just how bad life can get when he discovers that the prison he just entered is controlled by vampires. This is just one original property that hails from Platinum Studios’ multi-universe library of over 5,600 comic characters, a library of characters as large as Marvel’s. Marvel was recently acquired by Disney for $4 Billion, and is the second major comic library to be acquired by a Hollywood studio. DC Comics, which is owned by Warner Bros., recently announced a newly-revamped business model, focusing on reaching deeper into DC’s catalog of characters. Platinum Studios remains independent of major entertainment studio affiliation.

Since that press release is really just hyping the hell out of Platinum Studios, let’s take a look at the synopsis from Amazon.com

When industrious, right-wing survivalist David Paxton is sent to a tough Texas prison, he has no idea that it’s secretly run by vampires using the inmates to feed on. Now, Paxton’s one hope of escape is a desperate prison riot and an uneasy alliance with a ruthless killer named Robbart.

I like the dynamic of putting a guy in a place that can be naturally bad only to learn that there is some worse. Add on the fact that he has to deal with another prisoner to get out of there adds even more complexity.

It could be interesting. It could be a mess. One thing that is for sure is that I will be sinking my teeth into it.
