He's set for the graphic novel adaptation
We’re still waiting to see another big screen effort from Casino Royale man Martin Campbell – when your most recent film is the drubbed Green Lantern, it makes sense that you’d carefully select your next project. So while several possibilities are still in the air, he’s taking his time. Campbell has just added another potential film, teaming up with producer Gale Anne Hurd for an adaptation of the graphic novel Sebastian X .
Déjà Vu writer Bill Marsillii is the man they’ve hired to write the script, adapting the title from French comics publisher Humanoids. Writer Michelangelo La Neve and artist Stuart Immonen concocted the graphic novel’s story, which sees an elite cop badly injured on a mission. As he recovers, he’s implanted with the memories of a terrorist so he can infiltrate the man’s gang before a planned attack.
Voltage Pictures is also backing this one, alongside Hurd’s Valhalla Pictures. It’s not the first time the director and producer have worked together: she produced his 1994 thriller No Escape. This new film will go into his box of potential films, which also includes Hunter Killer, The Dive and Umbra. And he has just completed a new assignment, a TV Movie called Warriors about military medical staff helping wounded troops returning from Afghanistan.
