Jeff Krelitz, who's already producing an adaptation of Peter Panzerfaust with BBC Worldwide, has acquired the film rights to Hoax Hunters, the Image Comics series by Michael Moreci, Steve Seeley and Axel Medellin. According to Heat Vision, Krelitz's Quality Transmedia is already searching for a writer.

Originating as a back-up feature in Tim Seeley's Hack/Slash, Hoax Hunters graduated to its own series last year, focusing on a group of paranormal investigators that debunks mysteries for a television show called Hoax Hunters. But in reality, the hunters work to cover up and keep the world’s dark forces secret.
