Big-Screen Adaptation Of Garth Ennis' THE PRO Graphic Novel In The Works At Paramount Pictures

According to Deadline, there's a big screen adaptation of Garth Ennis, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti's The Pro in the works at Paramount Pictures. The Image Comics one-shot graphic novel is about a prostitute who is granted superpowers, and must juggle her unconventional day job with being a parent, while also learning to use her new abilities responsibly.

It's supposed to be a parody, but truth be told, it's not particularly funny. Put it this way - if you thought Ennis' work on the likes of Preacher and The Boys could be juvenile or sophomoric, have a read of The Pro!

We don't have many other details right now, but the project is being produced by Erwin Stoff of 3 Arts and written by Zoe McCarthy.

Here's the official logline:


A prostitute who wakes up one day with superhero powers and is asked to join the League of Honor to help curb her anti-heroic behavior.

Holy crap I forgot this was considered for being a movie. I read the original story, and it was...

Can't describe it, but it was something alright.

@ThatAlexDude - It had its moments... but overall it was just an excuse for Ennis to indulge his sillier tendencies.

@RorMachine - It was pretty downright silly, but what caught my attention was Amanda Conner's art TBH. She's one of my favourites.
