Legendary Entertainment will continue playing around with monsters with Bitter Root, an adaptation of the series from Image Comics that Regina King is on board to direct!
Deadline reports that King will also produce the big screen adaptation alongside Ryan Coogler.
“The story is set during the vibrant Harlem Renaissance of 1924, when a fractured family of once-great monster hunters faces an unimaginable evil that descends upon New York City. For generations, the Sangeryes have hunted and cured those infected by a supernatural force that feeds off the prejudice of the era, transforming human beings into hideous monsters. With most of the family dead, and the surviving Sangeryes at odds between saving or killing the creatures, they must overcome the wounds of the past in the hopes of thwarting an invasion.”
Bryan Edward Hill is on board to write the screenplay.
The comic series was created by David F. Walker, Sanford Greene, and Chuck Brown.
