In 2008, Aja was replaced by Fight Club director David Fincher, and the original script was scrapped.

Graphic novels often provide ready-made visual blueprints for film and television adaptations. Netflix is developing a series adaptation of Charles Burns' Black Hole, with Jane Schoenbrun attached to write and direct. The original Black Hole ran as a comic series from 1995 to 2005 and centers on a town afflicted by a sexually transmitted disease that causes grotesque mutations; a character named Chris retreats to the woods with other infected and discovers a murderer stalking them. Multiple film attempts since 2006 involving Alexandre Aja, Neil Gaiman, David Fincher, and Rick Famuyiwa failed to reach production. Schoenbrun's series marks the first television effort.
