Darkchylde.


Mmmmm.
Trashy Underworld-via-comics fun! Looks like it's based loosely on the Darkhorse comic of the same name.
Via Ain't It Cool News:

"Just wanted to give a heads up that the first film images have been captured of Darkchylde, based on the comic of the same name. I am intimately involved, as is 5 time Oscar Winner Richard Taylor (King Kong, Lord of the Rings) and Weta Workshop, and Dark Horse (Hellboy).

Story revolves around a very pretty girl's curse that allows her to transform into different creatures from her nightmares. Ariel Chylde is a physical pandora's box, and these creatures borrow her blood and bones to hitchhike over to our world. Every time Ariel changes, she sets a different creature free in her small southern town.

We have the A list team, and our expressed goal is to produce an original, beautifully shot, atmospheric horror film, played very straight and very dark, ala a modern Carrie or Ridley Scott's Alien, with a wicked, sexy cool Underworld vibe."
