Regissör gör film baserad på KISS-skiva - Se teaser här

I en intevju med Metalshrine på frågan om filmen kommer att bli seriös svarar Hunter:

Yeah, yeah! It's a very serious movie! I think the only way to do this is to do it properly and not to make some kind of kitsch sorcery thing. Not to completely copy the ideas that KISS had. It's 30 years and a lot has happened in 30 years in art and culture and cinema and everything. I think the only way to make this credible, to make it work as far as I see it… I've decided to reset it as a kinda post-apocalyptic road movie, but with all the signifies in place and the characters are the same and the general narrative is the same or at least what we know of it. It basically tells the same story and, of course, it's an old story with a boy on a quest and the story of good and evil. It wasn't exactly a radical storytelling, but in a sort of credible environment really and that's it. I'm not making a film for KISS fans. I'm making a film that I want to be for the general audience. I want to make a good, low-budget, high-concept film which will appeal to everybody. Hopefully it will be underwritten and paid for by KISS fans, as long as they don't sue us. This is the big potential problem that we have at the moment. We've gone this far and people know about it and I'm 99% sure that KISS know about it. We've written to the management and we've written to the label, but we haven't heard anything and the big worry is that they… you know how Gene Simmons likes to wield his lawyers and he's not scared of doing that, so the big worry of course is that he'll come down on us like a ton of bricks… and we're prepared for that. People ask question about what chance do we have on a project that doesn't set out to glorify the KISS brand? I understand, but we're not asking for money and we're not asking for investments. We're potentially reactivating some long-dead part of their catalog in an incredible new way. We're doing it respectfully and we'd love their authorization. I'm hoping they'll be able to see the potential in it.

I en intevju med The Guardian förklarar han även att han vill ha Gene Simmons i filmen:
I want him to play the arch baddie, Mr. Blackwell, Gene had a half-decent acting career in the mid-80s, actually – Wanted: Dead Or Alive and Runaway. He played villains in both.
