Variety report that British writer Drew Pearce has been hired by Paramount to pen the adaptation of DC Comic series, The Mighty.
The studios acquired the rights back in June, with Chris Bender, JC Spink and Jake Weiner involved as producers. Pearce is currently believed to be working on the Iron Man 3 script after being brought aboard the project by Disney and director Shane Black.
The Mighty, an original graphic novel from writers Peter J. Tomasi and Keith Champagne, tells the story of Alpha-One, the world's most powerful super-being, who has always been a force for good. But a cop who's life was saved by Alpha One as a child, has uncovered his hero's dark plan that will put them on a collision course of an ordinary man versus a super-man.
