Matthew Vaughn latest pic Kick-Ass is in theaters this week and word is the director may produce or direct a film adaptation of the controversial sci-fi/crime noir graphic novel mini-series "Turf" next reports The Guardian. Set in New York 1929 at the height of prohibition when the mob ruled the city, the story follows the arrival of the mysterious Eastern European Dragonmir Family. These vampires unleash a series of brutal attacks on the gangs, forcing a surviving tough guy and an alien to team-up and stop it. A strong willed young reporter and an ancient prophecy all come into play as well.
The comic was created by famed British radio & TV presenter Jonathan Ross, with art by Tommy Lee Edwards.
Ross' wife is Jane Goldman, Vaughn's regular co-writing partner.
