Heads will roll and struggle to stay quiet after reports that Russian Doll and Poker Face star, Natasha Lyonne is set to lead in a big-screen adaptation of Basketful of Heads, a DC Hill House comic book series with an incredibly macabre twist. Originally released in 2019 and written by Joe Hill, the story follows June Branch, who, on a mission to rescue her kidnapped boyfriend, comes into possession of a magical axe. The perk (used very loosely here) of this ornate weapon is that anyone who falls victim to decapitation from the axe will continue on as a fully aware severed head.
Deadline confirmed that Lyonne has joined the project, which will be directed by Ana Lily Amirpour. Amirpour helmed the fantastic vampire film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, so considering that unconventional toothy number, it sounds like a perfect match, even though this film has a far darker comedic streak running through it.
