I know there is a lot of talk about comics getting optioned. But there is a long road from that to where the movie or show actually gets made. Today, Paramount moved one comic property closer to being a film.
The Activity has been officially green lit for a movie.
Comicbook.com notes :
Confirmed by original comic series writer Nathan Edmondson on his Instagram page earlier today, the film will be written by Black Hawk Down’s Ken Nolan and produced by Dan Lin. Nolan comes with some credibility for “The Activity ,” having written the introduction to the series’ third paperback collection.
According to Edmondson’s announcement, Paramount is now seeking a director and cast to bring Nolan’s vision to life. Written by Edmondson and illustrated by Mitch Gerads, “TThe Activity ” tells the story of a secret, advanced special operations unit that’s part of the Intelligence Support Activity. The group is equipped with the latest technology and authorized to use whatever means necessary to fix missions gone bad.
Copies of the first issue of The Activity have recently sold for $10 to $15. Copies now are listed at $30-60. Interesting to see if the prices jump back up to their highs of around $61 for raw copies.
I hope it goes through!
I really dig this series. Great story & art.
Same team pumping out the same type cool stories on The Punisher.
