Hannah Berry’s Adamtine being developed by Wiip

Adamtine, the horror graphic novel by Hannah Berry, is in develop to be a feature film by Wiip. Mark Roybal, Paul Lee, and Nate Winslow will produce the film and Berry will be an executive producer.

In Adamtine, four strangers on the last train home are stalked by a shapeless evil with nowhere to run. They all have connections to a serial killer.

The full description of the graphic novel:

All people could do was speculate on the fate of those who vanished—strangers; seemingly random, unconnected: all plucked from their lives and never seen again. The notes found left behind, apparently describing some slender reason for their removal, were all that linked them. They were all delivered by one man. Rodney Moon had admitted seeing those who had been disappeared and to passing the notes, but denied any involvement beyond that. Who wrote the letters, then? Moon shrugged during the trial: “It has no name,” he said. “It’s a bogeyman. A monster.” He was not mourned when the vengeful bereft finally found him. Some years later, four strangers; seemingly random, unconnected, all take the last train home. But something each of them has forgotten—or is trying to forget—is catching up with them; with a terrible, inexorable purpose. The devil is in the detail, as they say.

The graphic novel was published in 2012.
