Writer Hired For Live-Action BEN 10 Adaptation
Up-and-coming Rampage scribe Ryan Engle has been brought in to work on Ben 10, Silver Pictures’ big-screen take on the hugely popular Cartoon Network franchise about a boy who can transform into 10 different monsters thanks to an alien watch.
We heard some time ago that Joel Silver - producer of, among many others things, Sherlock Holmes, V For Vendetta, and the Matrix trilogy - had signed on to develop a live-action feature film based on Cartoon Network's Ben 10 sci-fi franchise, with an eye toward distribution through Warner Bros. The show's creator gave us an update a while ago, but aside from that all had been quiet since. But now THR report that the movie has a new writer - Ryan Engle, who is also working on New Line’s adaptation of the Rampage video game and New Regency’s The New West, which is based on a comic from Black Bull Media. Engle will work off of the script by Albert Torres (Henry Poole Is Here).
