Future Films has announced that they have just optioned the Tony Lee comic book Hope Falls. The movie production group focuses on British distribution but has been known to provide international releases for select films. For those unfamiliar with the comic, Collider reports the following from an earlier interview with the comics creator.:
"“It’s The Crow meets Twin Peaks when Helen, a female Angel free falling towards Hell, returns to the steel mill town where she was killed twenty years earlier — to extract revenge on her four murderers. But then there’s a little bit of a Da Vinci Code twist when Michael, the Angel trying to stop her, discovers that the original murder and current revenge spree were both sanctified by the church and Heaven itself.”
No production date has been set.
