Variety reports that Rogue Pictures has hired Stephen St. Leger and James Mather to write and direct the film adaptation of Chris Kirby’s The Lost Squad.
St. Leger and James are best known for directing TV commercials as Saint & Mather. Their short film, Prey Alone, has been generating buzz online. (The trailer is really worth a look.)
The Lost Squad, about a unit of Allied soldiers who fight Hitler’s occult forces during World War II, first appeared in Digital Webbing Presents #7 in 2003. The six-issue miniseries debuted at Devil’s Due in September 2005.
According to Variety, the plan for the adaptation is to “overstylize the action in the vein of Warner’s recent graphic novel-based hit 300.”
