I will post updates on my next feature film as writer/director/composer when things are confirmed, but things look very good right now for The Bookie & the Bruiser shooting in 2026, and I’ve recently added some excellent performers to the cast.
Here is a link to my favorite 2025 screenings, both new and revival movies:

“Sometimes art is supposed to upset you"
"Why?"
"It might help you work through some of your own bad feelings or change how you look at yourself or something you're experiencing or somebody who know or once knew. And often, there're hidden messages in this kind of art that you don't see right away-so it can make you think, which is never a bad thing.”
― Hug Chickenpenny: The Panegyric of an Anomalous Child

Praise for S. Craig Zahler's debut graphic novel Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus from Tim Seeley, Ben Marra, Dash Shaw, Josh Simmons and more..."IT'S INSANE. I love it."
--Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Grayson)
"With DR. DIVINUS, Zahler arrives as a cartoonist fully formed. It's as if he's been doing this for twenty years. But it's only with this graphic novel, his first, that Zahler has turned his considerable creative talents toward comics. As a medium, comics should feel blessed."
--Benjamin Marra (Terror Assaulter, Night Business)
"S. Craig Zahler brings the same furious energy to his first graphic novel that he does to his music, movies and novels. Forbidden Surgeries of The Hideous Dr. Divinus is a deliberately paced weird horror story with punctuations of cruelty and uncomfortable hilarity." -- Josh Simmons (The Furry Trap, Black River)
"Zahler conjures the spirit of EC and weird visionary outlier comics but with way more story structure and momentum than those comics ever have. Comics is lucky to have his contribution to our medium!"
-- Dash Shaw (Bodyworld, Bottomless Belly Button)
"Zahler has produced something otherworldly ... with hints of those classic 80's underground B&W outlaw comics that we all love so much. This is something different and unexpected and I would highly recommend it!
-- Jim Mahfood, Grrl Scouts, Tank Girl, Into The Spider-Verse
Available for pre-order at:
https://www.amazon.com/Forbidden-Surg...
My new science fiction novel Corpus Chrome, Inc. is now widely available in paperback, hardback and kindle editions.“CORPUS CHROME, INC describes one of the weirder post-singularity futures. The characters are very much alive. I was entertained throughout.” —Larry Niven, multiple Hugo and Nebula award winning author of the Ringworld series
“[We fell] completely under Zahler’s spell, buying into his near-future world and becoming so involved in his characters’ lives that, when the book ends, we are loath to leave these people and their world. A bravura literary performance.” —Dave Pitt, Booklist, Starred Review
“Zahler’s a fabulous story teller...”
—Kurt Russell, star of Escape from New York, Tombstone, Dark Blue, and Death Proof
"IT'S INSANE. I love it."
--Tim See..."
When is the next one coming ? ;)
