At the end of last month, Brian Michael Bendis tweeted that Pearl #10 would have some news about a Pearl movie. Pearl #10 is in stores tomorrow, but here is the news Bendis released
Pearl #1 shot up in price and had numerous sales after the following tweet went out:
Here is the letter column announcing that Mandeville Films has purchased the rights (optioned) Pearl.

I doubt a movie happens. Selling movie rights to a comic doesnt me anything. So many projects go unmade.
mean ^
You are so right. The rights sell, people freak and buy up comics. Then the project fades into obscurity.
So, with that said. If it happens or it doesn’t, buy low, sell high. Who cares if it’s made or not. If the news makes it so you can make a few extra bucks by flipping these, that’s the name of the game!
There was another Bendis option announced in the same letter column I missed out on.
So where’s that spoiler??
At least it’s official now. Interested to see what the next “move” is too.
Bought but Haven’t read the first 4 issues yet. Will hopefully get around to that soon.
Stay tuned for another tweet before #12 arrives he says. It sounds like this one could go thru Universal since they have 1st refusal rights with movies from Mandeville now. ABC’s in the mix as well so you can’t rule out made for tv movie or series either if Universal says no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandeville_Films
Grandma’s Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast sounds….interesting…
Although I always remain skeptical .. this one may have a good shot ..
I wouldn’t get too excited. Bendis has a bad track record. Powers finally got made as a Sony/PlayStation series and nobody cared. Remember when Fire was getting made with Zach Effron? Didn’t happen. Nothing with Torso or Jinx either.
It’s because it was Sony PlayStation network which no one used.
I have a playstation to play games, not watch shows..
Well, technically, the PS4 Pro is one of the best streaming devices out there .. I have one as well as 2 PS3’s .. but app support on PS3’s is pretty thin now a days ..
