io9 has run a piece about the winners and losers at this year's Comic-Con and proclaimed webseries Universal Dead to be one of the "winners." Why? Because the series is heading for to the big screen, as announced earlier this month.
While our request to interview writer/producer Kelly Parks has gone unanswered (so far), the folks at everyone's favorite site SciFinal chatted with Parks, who elaborated on the feature adaptation.
We're working out the final details but it will be released through Paramount sometime next year. I'm pretty sure that will make us the first web series ever to make the jump to the Big Screen.
Parks also revealed that the web series "would have" ran for 10 free episodes before ending up on DVD, but that plan is now altered because of Paramount's interest. I would like to announce to SciFinal that "big screen" does not need to capitalized.
Catch Episode 1 here, Episode 2 here, and Episode 3 here.
Congrats again, guys! In celebration of the San Diego production, I'm going to Jerome's this weekend to buy some glitter-free furniture.
