NSFW Trailer for Comic Book Adaptation 'The Scribbler' Starring Katie Cassidy, Sasha Grey, and Eliza Dushku


Not every comic book adaptation is going to make hundreds of millions of dollars and launch a franchise. Some have more modest expectations, and one of those is The Scribbler, which is based on the Image Comics graphic novel by Daniel Schaffer, who also penned the screenplay. Directed by some guy named John Suits, the film boasts a large ensemble of recognizable names, including a pair of Buffy the Vampire Slayer alums in Eliza Dushkua and Michelle Trachtenberg.

Katie Cassidy (Laurel Lance on Arrow) stars as Suki,  a mentally disturbed young woman who deals with her illness with an experimental machine known as "the Siamese Burn". The process destroys multiple personalities until there's only one left, but then Suki begins to wonder if the last unwanted personality will be her own. What happens then? What kind of person would she be?  I'm not familiar with Cassidy outside of Arrow but she is completely unrecognizable here compared to the straight-laced character she plays on the show. Michael Imperioli, Garret Dillahunt, Sasha Grey, Gina Gershon, and Billy Campbell co-star in what looks like a trashy, super-powered head trip. Kinda looking forward to it.

Check out the trailer below, and since it's NSFW you may want to do it from home. The Scribbler hits DVD/Blu-Ray on October 21st.
