<\/a>\"snaked.jpg\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] (San Diego, CA; March 10, 2008)\u00a0 – On the heels of the success of the motion picture adaptation of the graphic novel 30 Days of Night, IDW Publishing, a division of IDT Internet Mobile Group, announced that another of its graphic novels has been optioned by a major feature film producer.\u00a0 Producer Richard Saperstein, former President of Production of Dimension Films, who has overseen such films as 1408, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, The\u00a0Mist, John Q, The Punisher, Frequency, and Se7en, has optioned IDW’s hot, new comic series, SNAKED.\u00a0 IDW Publishing president and founder Ted Adams and SNAKED author Clifford Meth are executive producers.\u00a0 Shara Kay will co-produce and Mr. Meth will write the screenplay.<\/p>\n

An instant horror sensation upon its release in December, 2007, the first SNAKED comic sold out at stores across the country.\u00a0 The third book in the series was released on February 13th.\u00a0 Based on an original story by Mr. Meth, whom Barnes & Noble calls \u00ab\u00a0one of dark fiction’s best kept secrets,\u00a0\u00bb SNAKED is a horror-noir that follows the personal and political exploits of a government employee with supernatural, snake-like abilities.\u00a0 First illustrated by Dave Cockrum (co-creator of X -Men), SNAKED has featured cover art by Ashley Wood and illustrations by Rufus Dayglo.<\/p>\n

Mr. Saperstein was drawn to the story’s dynamic characters and timely political message.\u00a0 \u00ab\u00a0As a producer,\u00a0\u00bb he says, \u00ab\u00a0I’m drawn to characters that are forced to explore the limits of their own humanity in situations that test their rational minds.\u00a0 The political arena forms the perfect backdrop for Clifford Meth’s heady mix of horror, sex and mayhem. I am also pleased to be working with Ted Adams and the folks at IDW, who are always breaking new ground in the world of comics and graphic novels.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0If there is one thing I have learned from my experience with the filmmaking community,\u00a0\u00bb said Mr. Adams, \u00ab\u00a0it is to work with the very best.\u00a0 We experienced that luxury on 30 Days of Night and now we’re fortunate to be partnered with Richard Saperstein, a renowned producer with a stellar track record.\u00a0 SNAKED is the most controversial book we have ever published and I know that Richard will bring this story to the screen with incredible style, wit and daring.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
