Koulest Productions have optioned Jonathan ‘Swifty’ Lang’s BOOM! Studios horror comic “Plunder” for development as a feature.
The story follows a gang of Somali pirates after they face off with an illegal Chinese vessel. They then try to board what they think is a research ship, only to find themselves in the midst of a massacre, with their worst nightmares becoming reality around them.
The fourteen-year-old boy who went from translator to reluctant pirate becomes their key to survival, but he must decide how far he’s willing to go in the name of self-preservation.
Ethan Teller will pen the script while Miles Koules and Oren Koules will produce. Alec Gillis, who redesigned the Predator for Dan Tractenberg’s “Prey,” will handle special effects on the film.
