It's the comic book film project that went under your radar.
Randy Queen passed along this note to share with Newsarama readers about Darkchylde:
"Just wanted to give a heads up that cameras have rolled on Mount Vic in New Zealand (where the Hobbits first encounted the RingWraiths) and the first filmic images have been captured of Darkchylde, based on the comic of the same name. I am intimately involved, as is 5 time Oscar Winner Richard Taylor (King Kong, Lord of the Rings) and Weta Workshop. Dark Horse (Hellboy) is also in the mix.
"The story revolves around a very pretty girl's curse that allows her to transform into different creatures from her many nightmares. Ariel Chylde is a physical pandora's box, and these creatures borrow her blood and bones to hitchhike over to our world. Everytime Ariel changes, she sets a different horror creature free in her small southern town.
"I am very passionate about what I think works and what hasn't over the years. We have the A list team, and our expressed goal is to produce an original, beautifully shot, atmospheric horror film, played very straight and very dark, ala a modern Carrie or Ridley Scott's Alien, with a wicked, sexy cool Underworld vibe. Our only wish is to create a film for the horror fans of the world to get excited about, so everyone please wish us luck!
"Promise to report more when able.

This comic is very cool, if any of you get the chance to read the comic, you should. I hope this movie does good and is good. I'd hate for them to ruin a great comic image by making a movie out of it.
