Deadline reports that Benderspink has optioned the rights to "Turf," a five issue miniseries released in April of 2010 and set in 1920s Prohibition Era New York. But before you paint a picture of the period project, know that the Image-published story, written by Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards, bears little resemblance to “Boardwalk Empire.”

The book’s titular Prohibition Era turf war is fought not solely among gangsters, but vampires and aliens as well, in one cacophonous collage of pulpy plot trends. For real though, sounds like a bad time for drinking to be illegal.

Oh, my:
"The gangs of New York are either dead or in hiding. The cops are on their way to tackle the Dragonmirs, a family of blood drinking Strigoli (that's vampire to you and me) from Romania. But the bloodsuckers have set up a little reception party for the Cops on Brooklyn Bridge, and things don't look too good for New York's finest. Mankind's last hopes rest with former Gang Boss Eddie Falco, now telepathically linked with the Alien Squeed from Anth. Together they head to Harlem, where they must persuade The Reverend Samuel King and his men to join with them and confront the monstrous threat that the Dragonmirs are re-awakening... the first vampire, the 'man-killer'... 'the Old One!'"

Seriously..
I'd love to get my hands on that one... It combines the FINEST things in life. :cool2:
