[Craig Zobel](https://deadline.com/tag/craig-zobel/), a director known for his work
on such prestige series as _Mare of Easttown_ and _The Penguin_, is set to direct
a feature adaptation of _[Something Is Killing the Children](https://deadline.com/tag/something-is-killing-the-children/)_,
the popular comic book series from James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera, with 
[Jason Blum](https://deadline.com/tag/jason-blum/) and his [Blumhouse](https://deadline.com/tag/blumhouse/)
among the producers.

Stephen Christy and Tynion IV will produce the film for BOOM! Studios/Penguin Random
House, alongside Blum for Blumhouse. Shaun Sutton and Ryan Turek will exec produce
alongside Adam Yoelin and Mette Norkjaer, with Dell’Edera acting as co-producer.

The news came out of [New York Comic-Con](https://deadline.com/tag/new-york-comic-con/),
where Blumhouse laid out its 2027 slate.

First published by BOOM! Studios, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in 2019, _Something
is Killing the Children_ centers on Erica Slaughter, a monster hunter who arrives
in the small town of Archer’s Peak after children begin disappearing to take down
the creature preying on them. It’s the most successful original horror comic book
since _The Walking Dead_, with more than 5 million copies sold worldwide, having
been translated into more than 20 languages in 14 countries.

While developing the live-action feature, Blumhouse is simultaneously developing
an adult animated series version of _Something Is Killing the Children_ to be shepherded
by Tynion IV.

A DGA Award nominee and three-time Emmy nominee, Zobel broke out with indies like
_Compliance_ and _Z for Zachariah_ before going on to work on shows such as _The
Leftovers_, _American Gods_, _Westworld_, _Mare of Easttown_ and _The Penguin_. 
He also helmed the satirical horror film _The Hunt_ and just wrapped production 
on _Turpentine_, a new thriller starring Melissa McCarthy and Connie Storrie. He
is repped by CAA, SSM&L, Entertainment 360 and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.

Blumhouse–Atomic Monster is in theaters this weekend with Rob Savage’s Universal
horror _Other Mommy_, based on the novel _Incidents Around the House_ by Josh Malerman.
Their slate for next year includes the Joshua Giuliano buzz title _River_, Mike 
Flanagan’s _The Exorcist: Martyrs_, _Anything but Ghosts_ from _Obsession_‘s Curry
Barker, a new _Paranormal Activity_, the Savage-helmed _Mole People_, a new _Blair
Witch Project_ from Dylan Clark, _Sleepover_ from director Jacob Chase, and Drew
Hancock’s _Seasons_.
