Has The Big Screen Adaptation Of Mark Millar's NEMESIS Been Scrapped?

When it was first announced that 20th Century Fox has aqquired the rights to the big screen adaptation of the violent four part series, news soon followed that Tony Scott would direct and there was a considerable amount of buzz surrounding the possible casting of Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. Since then, we've not heard all that much about Nemesis and while Scott has seemingly moved on to various other projects (he was also attached to 24: The Movie shortly after) there's been no other updates. Until now it seems. Bleeding Cool has spotted the following conversation which took place between Mark Millar and The A-Team director Joe Carnahan on Twitter earlier today.

Now, there's nothing here which would point to the movie having been completely scrapped, but it seems that Millar's hectic schedule (which resulted in some lengthy delays between the release of each issue) may have caused Fox to put it on hold, although it's been completed a while now so that doesn't explain why it's been "[frick]ed off" or its current status. Stay tuned for updates as and when we have them.
