Bad Idea’s satirical horror comic The Lot will be making its big movie debut—fitting, considering what The Lot is about.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Akela Cooper—who has written the screenplays for numerous horror films including The Nun II, Malignant, M3GAN, and its upcoming sequel M3GAN 2.0—has signed on to adapt the comic in collaboration with Dinesh Shamdasani and Benjamin Simpson, the CEO and head of film and TV of Bad idea, respectively.
The new cover for The Lot can be viewed below:
Published in 2021 with Marguerite Bennett as the writer and Renato Guedes as the illustrator, The Lot is a four-issue series set right in the Hollywood studio lot.
The series follows Aviva Copeland who lands her dream job in Los Angeles’ Cloverleaf Studios. Aviva is the youngest studio chief in decades and is also making history as one of the few Black women to run a Hollywood studio. In her efforts to revive a soundstage that had been closed for half a century after a famed filmmaker cast real-life cult members to perform a real occult, thus shuttering the soundstage, she discovers that although nobody is there anymore, something much more sinister still lurks.
Fans at New York Comic Con will have a chance of winning a limited NYCC-exclusive edition of The Lot #1 which will have a new cover illustrated by EM Carroll on October 19 at 3 p.m. in room 408, where Bad Idea will be hosting a panel.
