#Into The Spider-Verse’s Peter Ramsay Will Direct A Live-Action Vampire Noir

I think most folks know at least a broad definition of film noir at this point. Heck, Ramsey helped educate a whole new generation about the tropes of noir in “Into the Spider-Verse” by incorporating Spider-Man Noir into the multiverse crossover. Noirs are usually defined by seedy crime stories, strong and treacherous women (called femme fatales) and lush black and white cinematography.

Now, that last part isn’t a requirement. There have been many incredible noirs in color. In fact, Guillermo del Toro made a great one recently with “Nightmare Alley.” But despite a lot of bendable rules, noirs are like pornography: you know it when you see it. They are typically crime-based morality tales where nobody is wholly innocent and happy endings are hard to come by.

Creating a horror noir against the backdrop of the 1950s jazz scene is a hell of a concept and one I can’t wait to see play out. Gonna be very interesting to see the cast form for this one and I, for one, can’t wait to see how Ramsey’s directorial style translates to live action.
