- Victoria Mahoney, who was the director of the second team on the set of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, is negotiating with Paramount to create a screen adaptation of Kyle Starks' Kill Them All graphic novel.
- The script will be written by James Coyne (Vikingdom, Hard Night Falling).
- The premiere date of the film is not known so far.
Recently, we've seen tons of movie adaptation of various comic books and graphic novels and new ones are still being announced. Another one is already on the horizon. This time, however, it will not be a new superhero story from DC or Marvel universe, but an adaptation of a graphic novel, namely Kill Them All by Kyle Starks. The rights to create a film based on the title are held by Paramount. According to the website of The Hollywood Reporter, the company's representatives are currently negotiating with director Victoria Mahoney to take care of the project.
Victoria Mahoney became famous mainly as the director of the second team on the set of last year's Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. She has also directed episodes of such series as Grey's Anatomy, American Crime, Power, Claws or the upcoming Lovecraft Country.
Kill Them All will be produced by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, who worked together on such films as Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 2014. The script is written by James Coyne (Vikingdom, Hard Night Falling). So far it is not known when the title will make its debut in cinemas.
The graphic novel Kill Them All, whose release was partly funded on Kickstarter, is a "love letter to action movies from the 90s". It tells the story of a betrayed hitman wanting revenge and an alcoholic policeman wanting to get his job back. They join forces to eliminate a powerful criminal residing in Miami. To achieve this, our protagonists must break through 15 floors of the villain's headquarters and face criminals, killers, drug dealers, and even... accountants. As the title suggests, everyone must die.
