As Long As They Leave Valiant Alone I’ll Be Cool
Hopefully the film won't be as busy.
Brett Ratner, purveyor of such fine films as Rush Hour and Madonna:The Video Collection 93-99, just got his dirty little hands on ‘Youngblood’, the Rob Liefeld written comic book series held by Image. Ratner sees the the book, about super powered humans working for the government, as big screen business for some strange reason. From Variety:
“Most of the great graphic novels are gone, and ‘Youngblood’ is one of the few comic books left with tent pole potential. It was a real personal passion project for me, and a lot of people wanted (’Youngblood’), but the amazing thing about the guys at Reliance is the speed with which they’re able to move.”
This could mean that Image comics will finally start being mined for material. Me, I’m underwhelmed by the prospect. Ratner is also set to produce the new Conan picture.
