My pal Jeff Parker points to an article in Variety.com - Graphic detail for Contrafilm
Continuing its search for new action-adventure franchises, New Line has licensed graphic novel "Interman."
Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson are set to produce via their New Line-based Contrafilm shingle.
Created and self-published by Jeff Parker, "Interman" concerns a young man raised in seclusion who discovers he was genetically engineered by the government to be a superhuman killing machine. The military is after him, and he has to fight his instinct to become a killer.
Congrats to Jeff. I hope he makes a ton of money from this, and that the film doesn't completely suck. That the adaptation is being "penned" by the screenwriter who brought us Exorcist: The Beginning doesn't exactly raise my hopes sky-high, but we'll see.
