Director James Mangold to Helm Cyclops

---

The graphic novel Cyclops from French artist Alexis Nolent has been acquired by Warner Bros. to be developed as a feature film.

James Mangold (3:10 To Yuma) is set to tackle the big screen adaptation of Cyclops, while Cathy Konrad will produce with Alexandra Milchan.

Cyclops is set in the near future, where mercenary forces of soldiers wearing Cyclops-like cameras in their helmets and broadcast in real time to both central command and living rooms. One mercenary leading an elite squad realizes he is fighting for commerce rather than freedom and justice.

"It is an electrifying package you find in the best sci-fi: great action sequences combined with themes that are eminently foreseeable," Mangold told Daily Variety.

Konrad said; "This is something that Warner Bros. wants to move very quickly on. We already have a shortlist of screenwriters and will be out to people in the next week."
