Niles is currently working for the four top American comic publishers - Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse. Currently ongoing at Image is the creator-owned series BAD PLANET with co-writer Thomas Jane and THE CRYPTICS with artist Ben Roman. Everyone's favorite monster hunter Cal McDonald returns in the monthly CRIMINAL MACABRE series from Dark Horse. And later this year, continuing 30 DAYS OF NIGHT spin-offs and AMERICAN FREAKSHOW return to IDW Publishing.
In 2002, the success of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT sparked renewed interest in the horror genre, and is being developed as a major motion picture with SPIDER-MAN's Sam Raimi producing and David Slade directing. Niles had a part in writing the screenplay. The film is due to hit theaters in 2007.
In June of 2005, Niles and actor Thomas Jane ("The Punisher") formed the production company Raw Entertainment, which has a first-look deal with Lions Gate Films. Raw's first production is THE LURKERS, with a screenplay to be written by Niles, and to be produced by both Niles and Jane.
Niles and his BIGFOOT co-creator, rocker Rob Zombie, have sold the film rights to Paramount Pictures. Niles will be handling script duties. Also in development are adaptations of WAKE THE DEAD, HYDE, ALEISTER ARCANE and CRIMINAL MACABRE.
Niles got his start in the industry when he formed his own publishing company called Arcane Comix, where he published, edited and adapted several comics and anthologies for Eclipse Comics. His adaptations include works by Clive Barker, Richard Matheson and Harlan Ellison. IDW released a hardcover and softcover collection of Niles' adaptation of Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND.
