The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Preacher) will write, direct, and product Invincible, a live-action adaptation of Robert Kirkman's Image Comics series which will be released by Universal Pictures. The comic book creator is also set to produce and fans of the long-running series (it's way past issue #100 at this stage) have been waiting for this news for a long time.
"For nearly a decade I've had to endure the ‘what about Invincible?’ question as fans have watched The Walking Dead grow into the multi-media monstrosity it has become," said Kirkman. "The answer was always that we were waiting for the right team to partner with. That team has arrived! The esteemed misters Goldberg and Rogen have proven themselves to be top-notch directors with a keen collective eye for stunning visuals after slumming it by writing hit after juggernaut hit."
After their work on Preacher and movies like This is the End and The Interview, it's fair to say the right team has definitely been found and it's going to be very interesting seeing what from the comic book series they choose to adapt here. The series is actually set to come to an end in 2018 with issue #145, so this could be a franchise which is here for a very, very long time to come if this movie succeeds.
