Drive was reported as one of 2011's best films, and is currently working on films Only God Forgives and the Logan's Run remake. But those projects aren't the only thing that director Nicolas Winding Refn has going. Deadline reports that the director is in talks with Dreamworks to helm the adaptation of Button Man, a story about trained killers that are placed in a game to to kill one another. However, the protagonist gets tired of participating and realizes the only way to get out is to kill the millionaires funding the game. Not much else is known at this point, but it is probably likely that he will direct the film, making it another CBM that is currently in the works, including I Killed Adolf Hitler, Sullivan's Sluggers, and the RED and Kick-Ass sequels. What do you guys think of this? I feel that with his impressive film history, it's about time that he has a comic book-based film in the works. Sound off with your thoughts below in the usual place.

Button Man is a great story with plenty of twists and full on tension and brisk action - It will adapt to the screen well - Every Thing Comes Back To 2000AD.
