Bluestone Entertainment has nabbed the rights to Basketful of Heads, a horror comic series from DC’s Hill House, enlisting Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face) to star and produce, and Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night) to direct from her own script, according to a report on Deadline.
Created by Joe Hill, the official synopsis of Basketful of Heads reads “June Branch is in trouble. She’s trapped on Brody Island with nowhere to run. Her boyfriend, Liam, has been kidnapped. And four bloodthirsty escaped convicts will stop at nothing to find her. All poor June has to defend herself with is a strange Viking axe with the terrifying power to decapitate a person and leave their head still talking. If she’s going to save Liam and herself, June will have to keep a cool head…or even a whole basketful of them!”
“I’m very excited to team up with the wickedly funny and brilliant Natasha Lyonne to adapt this comic into a film,” said Ana Lily Amirpour. “We’re going to bring to life a new type of antihero who gets pulled into a bizarre adventure that unleashes something inside her and turns her life inside out. It’s gonna be darkly funny, surreal and bloody as hell.”
