Angry Films, a production company who's last comic adaptation was The League of Extraordinary Gentlement, are in discussion to work on a lesser known comic property, WE3. There was interest in the property by New Line Cinema, originally reported by Variety, but I guess that fell through.
Murphy also told us about a comic-based project that Angry Films is developing and hoping to get a director on soon, that being their movie based on Grant Morrison's mini-series WE3. "He wrote the comic and the script and it's the most insane mash-up in the history of movies if we pull it off. It's 'The Incredible Journey' meets 'Terminator.' Basically, the animals have been experimented on by the government and they're put into these combat suits, and then they escape and want to go home, and the government's like, 'They're heavily armed. Get them!' It's very cool.
Yeah, it may seem a little weird, but if done right, how can cyborg animal assassins not be cool? I myself, have not read the original comic, but I am a big fan of the writer, Grant Morrison. There's something about British writers, probably the access to strong liquor. Anyway, here's a review by a fellow blogger here. He's a bit wordy, but does a good job.
