The lucrative comic to movie trend shows no sign of easing up as two graphic novels that have not so much as seen a printing press have been optioned for movies by Vanguard.
This is all of the information there seems to be so far.
'Circus Galacticus' from screenwriter-author Michael Walker tells of "a fantastical circus with mythic creatures, fantasy aerialists, and heroic guerrilla fighters. They navigate the dark realm ruled by despotic tyrants who've taken control of Earth and have designated the circus as the only permissible form of entertainment."
'The Oz Wars' is an action film set in the Emerald City, where a fierce war is waged by the Witches in their evil citadel against the resistance fighters led by the beleaguered Wizard. The storyline was penned by an established screenwriter who's using the pseudonym "Dorothy Gale."(Dorothy's uncle in "Wizard Of Oz" was called Henry Gale. "Lost" fans will recognize the name!)
They do sound interesting. But does anyone else think that if these studios want to make obscure comic book movies they should focus on ones that are..y'know..written! Like "Badger" or "Nexus?"
