Via the Hollywood Reporter, Fox 21 and Platinum Studios are prepping Jorge Vega’s horror/western comic for a television series. Glen Morgan (writer/producer of “Final Destination”) is adapting Vega’s story and script.
For those of you readers unfamiliar with the story, it centers around a man, Abner Meeks, who is cursed with this revolver that severely tortures Meeks if he doesn’t kill once a day.
“Gunplay is one of those rare combinations of fantastically created characters and wonderfully told narrative, which creates an inventive canvas from which to play,” Platinum Studios chairman and CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg said. Fox21 President Chris Carlisle added, “It is a unique story of an ordinary man who must live with an extraordinary curse.”
Gunplay was the winner of the 2007 Platinum Comic Book Challenge, beating over two-million entries.
No date has been set for the show’s release.

No fracking way they had 2 million entries. How does Platinum get away with these BS press releases for shows and movies that never get made, or non existant books like impossible man? That was never a book and Platinum Studios hasn’t published anything in almost two years. They are what’s wrong with the “industry”
