Plot summary

The story focuses on Kaley Markowic, a young snowboarder who suffers a career-ending head injury during a competition, and loses part of her memory. While trying to recuperate from her head trauma, she discovers that the memories of others are being consumed by an ancient monster known as the Mnemovore. Kaley's amnesia leaves her immune to the monster's attacks, and the only one who can stop it.

Film

In October 2007, at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon, Mnemovore co-creator Hans Rodionoff screened a 10-minute sample reel for a proposed feature film based on the comic book. The sample reel features Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) as Kaley Markowic, and Michael Biehn (The Terminator) as her therapist. Rodionoff stated that the film will be executive produced by Guillermo del Toro, and produced by Don Murphy and Susan Montford. Rodionoff has written the script, and is set to direct as well. The film is currently in the funding stage, and Bell and Biehn are not currently signed to appear.[1]

gollark: This seems really terrible. Apparently airline pricing is so byzantine that some problems in it are literally uncomputable.

gollark: I can mostly only think of food and water as immediately problematic things, and it's still a lot easier to import help when on the ground.
gollark: Terrestrial housing gets breathable air and some degree of temperature control "for free".
gollark: It'll probably be a while before there are actually space habitats that big, and more having to be done technologically probably means more failures.
