Monsters of Metal Headed to the Big Screen
The upcoming indie comic book series Monsters of Metal is already in the works as a feature film, ahead of its October debut.
Deadline reports that filmmaker Jason Howden, who co-created the Opus Comics series, is set to direct the film from a script he is co-writing with Llexi Leon, who also co-created the series.
Howden is best-known for his recent action fantasy Guns Akimbo. Leon is the founder of Opus and its parent company Incendium who are producing the film.
The premise is said to be a cross between This Is Spinal Tap and Monster Squad as a faux documentary about a band of axe-grinding movie monsters that include Frank (a take on Frankenstein's monster), Medusa, Jack O'Lantern, Werewolf and the Bride. When the super group is evicted from Dracula's castle they have to go on tour to survive.
