According to Latinoreview.com,Matthew Vaughn will direct the comic book adaptation the Bloodshot.
This is what their source says:
"This all ties in to today’s TACO EXCLUSIVO- despite what you read about Loco Millar, Matthew Vaughan’s next film is going to be a comic book yet again- but this time it is a comic book adaption of the defunct Valiant comic book BLOODSHOT.
There are two volumes of the comic with slightly different stories. The movie will focus on Volume 2. Bloodshot is about a reanimated government assassin killing machine named Angelo. Vaughan is writing along with Jane Goldman who wrote Stardust and Kick-Ass for him. Vaughan is fully financing and intends to cast the film late summer. William Morris/Endeavor did the deal. And Millar has nothing to do with it. As El Taco entiende, Vaughan doesn’t like Millar’s pathological lies either."
UPDATE: Mark Millar has posted on his website that Vaughn is not directing the adaptation and that he turned down the project months ago.Check out what he has to say:
"...where the guy claims Vaughn is doing a Valiant book called Bloodshot next and not working with me on the Leinil Francis Yu project we're launching in September. It's totally insane. I remember Vaughn being offered this months back, but he turned it down along with a number of other projects he was offered and is starting work on the screenplay for the Leinil project in the next couple of weeks. We talked about it on the phone this morning.
I honestly don't know where to begin with this piece. Kick-Ass tracking badly? It's tracking massive. Nemesis having terrible reviews? See main thread for all the great reviews. Nobody producers coming forward for the Nemesis movie? We've got Marc Foster, Sam Raimi's company, Chuck Roven, Marv Productions, WB and others all wanting to talk months before the book is even out and I'm meeting with a director the week after next, closing in on a decision we'll announce by the end of next month. This is just bonkers stuff and I honestly worry about this guy. It's a shame that someone you've never met is so consumed with hate that he says CAA only keep me on to stop me able to sign with anyone else. Or that Vaughn, who's a close friend I have three movies planned with, is fed up with my antics, etc."
