Deadline exclusively reveals that Legendary Pictures has hired Tim Miller to helm
Gravel, an adaptation of Warren Ellis' Avatar Press series. Rick Alexander will produce the movie for Legendary while Ellis will serve as executive producer with a script from Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell. The site mentions the fact that 20th Century Fox last year hired Miller to direct
X-Men Origins: Deadpool, but offer no sort of update as to whether he is still attached to the movie which is set to star Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth.
Gravel focuses on William Gravel, a British S.A.S. soldier who uses his fighting and dark magic skills to take on supernatural beings for clients in order to make some extra cash.
