Universal Options Millar And Murphy's CHRONONAUTS

Another Mark Millar comic book looks set to become a live-action film as Universal Pictures has purchased film rights for a live-action adaptation of Millar and Sean Gordon Murphy's Chrononauts.

Universal Pictures will bring Mark Millar and Sean Gordon Murphy's Chrononauts to life in a live-action film adaptation. The comic book follows two best friends and scientific geniuses as they discover time-traveling and wrestle with whether to use the ability for personal gain or the benefit of all mankind. Fast & Furious scribe Chris Morgan joins Millar and Murphy as executive producers. With Chrononaughts set up at Universal (instead of Fox) it will be interesting if Millar brings aboard his usual co-conspirators, director Matthew Vaughn, screenwriter Jane Goldman and actor Mark Strong.

Chrononauts movie is happening! I've been keeping this secret since august!!!

My Chrononauts news doesn't mean much for PRJ, sorry all. If you want a PRJ movie as well, tell Warner Bros. :-)

@maxleresistant
Is it too much to ask for Vaughn

DEVLIN712 - 3/20/2015, 7:32 AM

I really enjoyed the first issue of the series, can't wait to see where it goes.
