Rex Mundi is a Dark Horse comic-book created by Eric Johnson and Arvid Nelson that hasn't been in print since 2009. In 2006 Warner Bros purchased the film rights to the movie with a script written by Jim Uhls, and it's looking like the movie is finally going to the big-screen being produced by Johnny Depp's film company Infinitum Nihil.
The comic was set in an alternate Europe in which the Protestant Reformation was crushed by the Catholic Church, resulting in the continuing of a medieval power structure where magic is also real. The story is set in 1933 and centers on a pathologist who investigates the mysterious death of the priest who found him as an orphan, a trail that ultimately leads to a quest for the Holy Grail. The book takes its name from the Latin term meaning King of the World.
Warner Bros. has hired
Tron: Legacy screenwriters Brian Klugman and Lee Sterntha to help in bringing the comic-book to life.
