Universal to Adapt Emily the Strange with Chloe Moretz as Emily

default-featured-image

Chloe Moretz Discusses Her Character in Let Me InIt was a couple of years ago that we first heard about Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson getting behind the production of a feature film version of Emily the Strange. Obviously it took a while for things to get off the ground, but now they are moving along nicely with the word that they have found their Emily: Kick-Ass and Let Me In star Chloe Moretz.

Deadline New York broke the news earlier today that Universal Pictures has acquired rights to the Dark Horse comic Emily The Strange, and Moretz is attached to play the title role of the odd but stylish young lady. The franchise was created by Rob Reger and his company Cosmic Debris in 1993 and it is licensed in 35 countries.

The pic will be produced by Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson, and Reger will be exec producer along with Keith Goldberg. “When I first met Chloe, I knew I found my Emily,” Reger said. “She really identifies and understands the character and has what it takes to bring her to life.”

No screenwriter or director is attached yet, but when we hear more, you will, too!

Scarred For Life
Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)
This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here. You can find Residue: Paramentals Rising wherever you buy your books or at WordFire Press.You can follow John on his website or Instagram and Facebook.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
