THR report that Guillermo del Toro and co-writer Chuck Hogan will write and produce an adaptation of their vampire book trilogy The Strain for FX, with Lost show-runner Carlton Cuse on board as executive producer.
The novels revolve around a vampire virus that infects New York, and the Doctor who investigates. The story treats these Vampires more as parasitic creatures than the brooding monsters of myth, and drops all of the romanticism that tends to be associated with them. It's an interesting take and might well make for a great tv show.
The first book, The Strain, was published in 2009, and was followed by 2010's The Fall and the final installment, 2011's The Night Eternal. The Strain was also adapted into a comic series by writer David Lapham and artist Mike Huddleston for Dark Horse. The 8th issue of which is out now.
