IDW Publishing's SNAKED Will Be Adapted for Film
The comic book series Snaked has been optioned by Columbia Pictures and is on the fast track to hit big screens.
Producer Richard Saperstein optioned Clifford Meth's comicbook series Snaked for film rights.
Meth's comic series "Snaked" is from an original story described as a horror-noir following a government employee with supernatural snakelike abilities.
"The political arena forms the perfect backdrop for Clifford Meth's heady mix of horror, sex and mayhem," said Saperstein, former prexy of production at Dimension Films, who has overseen pics including "1408," "Rob Zombie's Halloween" and "The Mist."
IDW Publishing released the first installment of "Snaked," whose publishers call it the most "controversial book" it's ever published, in December. The third book in the series was released on Feb. 13.
Meth will write screenplay and act as executive producer with IDW Publishing founder Ted Adams. Shara Kay will co-produce.
