There are plans to make the DC Comic's 'The Mighty' up on our screens...yes I know with other comic books already made into films such as 'Thor', 'The Green Lantern' and 'X Men' already out there that the comic books are taking over our cinemas and that anyone who hasn't read the comics or as some snobs like to call them 'Graphic Novels' is missing out on what the original storyline was, i.e making what was once thought of as being geeky to even be seen to pick up a comic book now cool...which is alright by me.
Warner Bros. and DC Comics (which Warner Bros. is partnered to) originally wanted this but luckily the writers of the comic books Peter Tomasi and Keith Champaign along with Peter Snejberg (the artist) hung onto the right to this comic book and instead went with the Benderspink production company and the Paramount Pictures based Disruption Entertainment will produce this hopefully new comic book based film. There is no writer or director on this yet but keep your fingers crossed that this actually gets made.
If like me you haven't heard of this comic book then I'll fill you in on the story, but I must warn you I have read this story and it isn't as great as other comic books that I've read in my time. But heyhow....
The Mighty follows police officer Gabriel Cole, whose life as a youngster was saved by seemingly heroic super-powered type Alpha One. But there’s a twist: Cole discovers that the alleged hero actually has a dark side and has horrible plans for his mortal charges.So Cole decides to thwart Alpha One’s plans – no easy feat when your villain has special powers and you’re just relying on being a tough cop.
