Producers option 'Night and Fog' comic

Film producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned horror comic Night and Fog.

Matthew Bradford and Alex Leung’s Studio 407 comic miniseries was published in 2008. The story follows a security guard who attempts to escape a military base where a mysterious mist has transformed people into deadly rampaging creatures.

Speaking to MTV Adler said: "When I read this I knew I had to take it off the market. It’s a great high-concept that blends the gothic horror of the Hammer films with the sci-fi horror of Aliens and The Thing."

Adler also produced Bryan Singer's Superman Returns.

The Night and Fog comic will be released as a trade paperback in early 2010.
