Watchmen co-scripter David Hayter and producer Benedict Carver have founded Dark Hero Studios to make sci-fi, horror and genre movies, TV shows and videogames.
The studio’s first project is Demonology, with Hayter writing and directing, reports Variety. The film will begin production after Hayter, whose screenplay credits include X-Men, X2 and The Scorpion King, finishes directing Slaughter’s Road, which he wrote and is making his directorial debut on with Carver producing through Crystal Sky Prods.
The company will tap into graphic novels, comic books, video game properties and original scripts for content. It is looking to secure financing and will retain ownership of its films in order to build up a library of content.
