J.C. Christofilis knows the elements of a good gore film. Blades. The Undead. Heavy Metal. These are three of the central themes is Christofilis' Chopper, a web series adapted from Martin Shapiro's comic book of the same name. After a nine episode run that attracted over 1.2 million views on YouTube, Chopper is trending upward. The macabre story of a headless killer has been optioned into a feature film adaptation, which will be produced by Christofilis' company, Dilemma. Chopper started as a five installment comic book, but the web series was launched complementary to the print material and made its debut earlier this year. The series is filled with healthy amounts of gore and has a definitely exploitation film feel to it, which seems to be engineered in some capacity (some would argue that this makes the series less fun, but you're welcome to draw your own conclusion.) Given the decent traffic generated by the series, a feature film (with a relatively small budget) is a logical next step. Check out an early episode of Chopper to get a feel of what to expect from the film
