James Badge Dale headlines the horror flick, which adapts The Empty Man comic book series from Boom! Studios (for which Fox is a stakeholder,) created by esteemed writer Cullen Bunn with art by Vanesa R. Del Rey. The film also serves as the feature directorial debut of David Prior, who worked off an adaptation screenplay he wrote, bringing nearly two decades’ worth of experience filming shorts and documentaries, notably shorts connected to director David Fincher’s 2011 version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Familiar summoned supernatural urban legend creature concepts from genre offerings such as (just to name a few,) the remake-set Candyman and The Slender Man will obviously come to mind once the trailer for The Empty Man establishes its premise.
