‘iHunt: Killing Monsters in the Gig Economy’ Film Adaptation Set; Lilly Wachowski Among Exec Producers (EXCLUSIVE)

The independently created iHunt universe is being adapted into a feature film, bringing its horror-comedy story of app-based monster hunting to a wider audience. The project uses supernatural horror to explore the insecurity of gig work and the limited choices facing people who need to earn a living.

Olivia Hill wrote the screenplay, and Scott Glosserman will direct; Jess Elgene is set to play Sandra, a character created for the film. Hill and Filamena Young have built the series over seven novels in 10 years, and Lilly Wachowski is among the executive producers. A separate television pilot and a vertical series set in the same universe are also in development.
