EXCLUSIVE: Wes Craven and Steve Niles have teamed for the graphic novel Coming Of Rage and a possible movie adaptation too. The Nightmare On Elm Street and Scream director created the upcoming comic, and Niles, who wrote the graphic novels 30 Days Of Night and Wake The Dead, wrote it. Live Free Or Die Hard producer Arnold Rifkin and Liquid Comics CEO Sharad Devarajan are developing a feature film version of Rage with Craven. Though no details are available on the comic or the film, it is pretty clear that there’ll be a healthy dose of horror, blood and suspense. Coming Of Rage is the first publication in Craven and Rifkin’s partnership with Liquid Comics, announced in 2010. It will be released by Liquid in 2013 as both a five-issue comic series and a graphic novel. Liquid Comics plans to have additional digital elements for iPads and iPhones to compliment the publication. Craven is repped by WME and Industry Entertainment.

Liquid Comics hardly a secret anymore. Great for you both, Sharad and Gotham, this is another winner!
Good luck working with Niles – you’re gonna need it!
A comic pro, huh? lol.
Does anyone really think that Craven can make a marketable, let alone good picture? “Nightmare” and “Scream” were eons ago; it’s over and the movie world has moved on.
Actually, Craven made two genuinely terrifying thrillers in the early 1970s: “The Last House on the Left” and “The Hills Have Eyes”. Hard to believe the same man was responsible for the putrid (though profitable) “Nightmare” and “Scream” series. The same is true of Brian DiPalma. And John Carpenter. The bigger the budgets, the worse the movies!
Moved on? Movies and music are both trapped in circles. Repetition sells.
They’re comic books. COMIC BOOKS. Jesus Christ. Stupid pretentious Hollywood “writers”.
One man’s comic book is another’s graphic novel. Comic books get respect these days.
