Inspired by true events, the comic follows the exploits of Lynn Devlin. Lynn is a medical examiner who thinks she has seen everything Nye County has to throw at her. She copes with methodical, rational logic. But when a grotesque murder of a supposed alien abductee occurs that cannot be solved with her scalpel and microscope, Lynn finds her detachment is shattered, and her dreams haunted by large dark, oval-shaped eyes. Now, only one thing is certain: There's a killer loose in the alien abductee community... human or otherwise.
No scribe has yet been hired to pen the script. Todd Lincoln will direct.
Strieber is best known for "The Wolfen" (that was a great film) and "The Hunger," which were adapted into pics in the 1980s, as well as alien abduction tale "Communion. The Coming Global Superstorm," a book he co-wrote with Art Bell, inspired Fox's tentpole "The Day After Tomorrow."
In their book, Spector said he focused on forensic aspects, setting up the question whether a serial killer was imitating aliens or vice versa. UFO researcher Dr. Roger Leir joined the program for a segment and noted that in the New Jersey cases, a medical professional told him the men were cut in a style similar to the cattle mutilations, with large amounts of hemoglobin found on the edges of the wounds. He also discussed the 'Chupa chupa' UFO attacks in Brazil, which took place in 1977.
Lincoln, who had previously been attached to a remake of "The Fly" at Fox Searchlight, will also serve as a producer on "Nye." He is attached to helm "Hack/Slash" for Rogue.
