Michael Dougherty has been hired to write
Wake the Dead, a feature adaptation of the horror comic set up at Dimension Films. The deal is worth mid-six against high-six figures, according to Hollywood Reporter sources.
Described as 'Flatliners' meets 'Frankenstein', the story follows four college kids who set out to reanimate objects and raise the dead.
The 'Dead' comic was originally penned by Steven Niles and distributed by IDW Publishing.
