How far would you go to repay a wrong if you had 100 untraceable bullets? It seems that DC/WB are finally looking to some of the Vertigo imprint's more popular titles for adaptation now. This time it's Brian Azzarello's award winning crime comic 100 Bullets..
Comic book/graphic novel adaptation master David S. Goyer is taking on 100 Bullets as a potential TV series. I hear Goyer is attached to write and executive produce a drama series project for Showtime based on the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic book that published 100 issues between 1999 and 2009, all written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Eduardo Risso, whose credits include the Batman and Superman comics. Warner Bros. TV, whose sibling DC Comics published 100 Bullets through its Vertigo imprint, is producing.
Goyer is a veteran of comic book adaptations at this point, having written all of the
Blade movies (also directing the last one) and co-writing Christopher Nolan's
batman movies. He is also working on Zack Snyder's
Man Of Steel. I think this is great news, a
100 Bullets TV show with Goyer holding the pen is sure to be something special.
If you are unfamiliar with the comic, Wikki provides..
Both the writing and artwork in 100 Bullets exemplifies the noir and pulp genres of popular modern fiction. It presents morally ambiguous stories with dark realism. Consistent with noir convention, most of the characters are deeply flawed. As is also quite common in such genres, 100 Bullets frequently portrays stylized and graphic violence. 100 Bullets is notable for creator/writer Brian Azzarello's realistic use of regional and local dialects/accents, as well as the frequent, sometimes dense use of slang and oblique, metaphorical language in his characters' dialogue. While initially presented as an episodic series of self-contained storylines, 100 Bullets eventually becomes a sprawling crime saga that embraces a sense that everyone and everything is connected.
