Studio 407’s Hybrid TPB Hits Stores on February 25th.
December 17, 2008 – Studio 407’s critically acclaimed series Hybrid hits stores on February 25th in trade format. Earlier this year, Myriad Pictures and Studio 407, formed a first-look partnership to make full-length live-action motion pictures. Hybrid is set to start filming next year with Ernie Barbarash (Cube Zero, They Wait) on board to direct.
“This was a real opportunity to take an old fashioned genre, the classic monster story, and bring it into the 21st century. says Hybrid writer Peter Kwong. “The ‘hybrid” is unlike any creature that you’ve ever seen; yet, like all classical monsters, it’s very much rooted in contemporary fears and anxieties. That always makes it more interesting as a writer, and, I hope, the audience will agree.”
Hybrid is described as: When four friends decide to rent a schooner for the day, everything is smooth sailing until they encounter a derelict ship adrift in the ocean — a massive trawler that looks as if it had been dragged from the bottom of the sea. When they spot a frightened little girl waving at them from the bow, they have no choice but to investigate. As they get closer to the ship, they discover that the girl is not alone.
Comics Bulletin says “If you’re a fan of old school, creature feature movies and like a little more monster in your horror, then this is a good book for you.”
Ain’t it Cool News calls Hybrid: “A good, old fashioned horror story… delivering on all levels.”
