Rachel Rising is heading to television. Alcon Television Group chose the Terry Moore horror comic book for its first television project according to The Hollywood Reporter Heat Vision. Moore will serve as an executive producer with Lloyd Levin, a veteran producer (Hellboy, Watchmen.)
The HRHV accurately describes the book as:
“A horror story for people who don’t like horror stories, Rising centers on a woman named Rachel who wakes up dead in a shallow grave. She begins to unravel the mystery of her death while crossing paths with not only friends but also a mysterious blond woman who is tracking her and a horrific little girl named Zoe, out on a killing spree. Also figuring into the mix is the history of the local town, magic and witchcraft.”
The series was nominated for best new series for the 2012 Harvey Awards. Moore is acclaimed for his award-winning comics Strangers in Paradise and Echo.
I have to give a shout out to Susan who first recommended Rachel Rising at the Comic Book Round Table discussion group at our neighborhood shop, Zanadu Comics in Seattle!
