"I have always wanted to start ideas in story form — some short, some long, some illustrated — and they can help turn those ideas into beautiful collectible editions," the Borderlands writer and director said. "I have hundreds of stories to tell and not all of them will be films, and I look forward to collaborating with them on every level. They're an amazing team, I’m so excited to work with them.”
Under the deal, Insight Editions will launch a line of horror-inspired books beginning in 2027, spanning fiction, lifestyle, interactive formats and more.
