CHUD has more details on Djimon Hounsou’s secret comic book trilogy project I blogged about earlier this week:
You’ll recall that the actor told IESB that he was going to be in a comic book trilogy which he described as his dream project. On the day that the story broke, cub CHUD reporter Phil Owen was doing a phoner with Djimon for another publication. He tried to get further details and this is what Hounsou told him:
I kind of wanted to be quiet about it until I completely finished the project. It’s obviously a comic book that used to be part of the Conan comic book…
The last part is hard to make out for certain, but it sounds like he’s saying ‘and we’re developing that.’
They have an audio clip of him talking about the project as well. Nu Image, the company putting together the Conan flick, said that they aren’t casting yet and don’t even have a director. And he said, “…used to be part of the Conan comic book,” so maybe it’s a related property like Red Sonja or Solomon Kane or something with some kind of tie to Conan, rather than actually Conan. Guess we’ll find out soon enough … but I still like the idea of him playing Black Panther.
