Just-published by Bantam, the graphic novel tells the story of the awakening of supreme evil on Earth. Lord Henry Baltimore is bitten by a demonic vampire bat on a WWI battlefield. The plague destroys his family, and Baltimore creates a team to hunt and fight the Red King, the embodiment of all evil.Period vampire movies are always the most interesting and there's some pedigree here with the fact it comes from the creator of HELLBOY. Goyer has yet to helm a movie I can honestly say I've liked yet but he's a pretty ambitious guy. On the horizon he has MAGNETO (which will likely be his next movie), SUPER MAX (his Green Arrow in Prison movie), THE INVISIBLE MAN (remake, or reimagining), SCANNERS (remake of Cronenberg's movie, though he is only writing the script to this), HERE THERE BE DRAGONS (movie about Tolkien/Lewis as teenager adventures, but he is only producing at this point). All those projects I have a huge interest in, even if one of them really shouldn't be remade. Add this Vampire movie, and once again Goyer is working with material that I want to see made correctly. Interesting to see how all this develops but I'll be surprised if he does anything other than MAGNETO, pre-strike. source - variety
