The script to the forthcoming film will be written by Kyle Ward, who is currently working on the sequel to Fox's Hitman, reports Variety.
Criminal Macabre centres around Cal McDonald, an unsavoury paranormal detective who takes on cases involving vampires, ghosts and other supernatural monsters.
This is not the first time that a Criminal Macabre film has been considered. "We had it set up at MGM years ago, and it just didn't quite take," Niles told MTV News. "[Criminal Macabre] went through a lot. The first instance, everyone was like, 'Clean [Cal] up, we can't have a character like this'."
Niles's comic 30 Days of Night was adapted into a movie starring Josh Hartnett in 2007.
