Brewer To Helm Live-Action “Stagtown”

LuckyChap and Wattpad Webtoon Studios Inc. are producing a live-action film adaptation of Punko’s hit webcomic “Stagtown”. The comic has over 18 million views online and has been acclaimed for its eerie style.

The film’s story follows Frankie, Jeremy, and Felix as they discover something terribly wrong in the town of Stagtown and attempt to escape the horrors that the residents ignore every day.

Benjamin Brewer, who has also helmed several award-winning music videos, is on board to write and direct the project.

Brewer was the VFX artist on the Best Picture winner “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and directed last year’s acclaimed Nic Cage horror “Arcadian”. He also co-wrote and directed “The Trust” and “Reptile”.

Aron Levitz, David Madden and Jason Goldberg will produce. Goldberg says in a statement:

“Punko’s ‘Stagtown’ has captured the obsession of the internet with its imaginative horrors and addictive mystery. We’re beyond thrilled to partner with LuckyChap, who tackle adaptations with singular filmmakers and undeniably bold ambition. We also couldn’t be more excited to bring the scares of ‘Stagtown’ to life with Benjamin Brewer, an artist with an ingenious take on the source material that will make a generation-defining horror movie.”

Wattpad Webtoon Studios has several films in the works, including “Lore Olympus,” “Death of a Pop Star,” “Freaking Romance,” “Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell” and “GremoryLand”.
