I am a big fan of the 2010 vampire film Stake Land and the prospect of a television series based on the film makes me incredibly warm and fuzzy on the inside. The feature film’s director Jim Mickle and writer Nick Damici are developing a series based on the film which will expand the universe from the film version. Read on for more details.
According to The Wrap, Mickle and Damici, long-time creative partners, teamed for 2010′s cult favorite post-apocalyptic vampire series “Stake Land,” which is also in development to continue as a television show. Greg Newman, who executive produced the movie, is also involved.
The movie actually began as a potential web series, providing Damici, who wrote that film, a base of characters and expanded lore to develop for serialization.
The series would begin seven years after the end of the film, and would involve many new species of vampires.
“They all mutated, there’s tons of different vamps,” Damici explained. “I said to Greg, the only thing I’ll need — I’ll write my ass off — the only thing is I’ve got to have enough of a budget to have flying vamps. It spread to animals, so we’ve got vamp dogs and a vamp bear.”
