The Hollywood Reporter says that Hollywood lawyer/attorney Skip Brittenham has united with comic artist Brian Haberlin to create a sci-fi graphic novel Anomaly, which will be published by the newly-formed transmedia company Anomaly Productions. A film adaptation is also in development, to be produced by Alice In Wonderland's Joe Roth.

Anomaly will be released this October as a 370-page, lushly painted hardcover, claimed to be "the longest original graphic novel ever published". Also, there will be a tablet app narrated by top sci-fi and video game actors, as well as an augmented reality app for iOS and Android (which involves interactive 3D and holographic technology).

The story of Anomaly is "set in 2717, where humans have colonized the galaxy and one corporation plunders the resources of alien planets. A group of explorers arrive on a planet for a diplomatic mission but are drawn into a larger conflict."

Do you think this has potential as a film?

Based on that description it hardly sounds original....And something being 'long' isn't really a selling point that will get me interested in and of itself.

I think the problem with Hollywood now is that, people would go out to create graphic novels as a pitching device for Hollywood execs to go "Oh it's based on a comic. Let's green light it!"

You don't even need a complete comic book or graphic novel before it gets jumped on by movie exec's wanting to turn it into a movie these days...
