Bryan Singer drinks Freedom Formula
From Variety:
Bryan Singer’s Bad Hat Harry Prods. has teamed with Radical Pictures to develop a live-action feature from “Freedom Formula,” a five-issue comicbook series created by Edmund Shern.
Radical Publishing is introducing the comicbook at Comic-Con, and it will be released in August.
It’s described as a futuristic “Top Gun” in which racing exo-suits have replaced fighter jets. The story focuses on a genetically engineered racer who learns that his bloodline has the power to change society.
Singer will produce with Radical’s Barry Levine. Jesse Berger, Edmund Shern, Alex Garcia and Michael Zoumas will be exec producers.
Deal marks the second comicbook adaptation this week for Bad Hat Harry, with Singer producing only on each. Warner Bros. and Singer teamed to option the Rob Liefeld-created comic “Capeshooters,” with J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani writing the script.
