Sydney Duncan and Natalie Barahona's Kill Whitey Donovan, which is produced and developed by 12-Gauge Comics and is published by Dark Horse Comics, is being brought to the big screen by Hideout Pictures and Sigrid Gilmer.
Kill Whitey Donovan is set during the final days of the Civil War and tells the tale of two women who are committed to getting justice. For Anna Hoyt, that means killing Jim "Whitey" Donovan, who caused her sister to commit suicide. As for Hattie Virgil, a slave on the Donovan plantation, it means helping Hoyt in exchange for her freedom.
"When I first read Kill Whitey Donovan, I was amazed that the story lived up to its provocative title," Hideout Pictures Chief Content Officer Trevor O’Neil said. "In Sigrid, we found the perfect screenwriter who can meld incredible action with brilliant dialogue. We’re excited to be working with her on this project."
At the time of this writing, no release date or casting information for the Kill Whitey Donovan adaptation has been released, but stay tuned to CBR for more details as they're released.
