What happens when the government assembles the greatest creative minds — from chemistry to creative writing — to devise end-game scenarios?

The answer is Unthinkable — and Mandalay has just picked it up.

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that producers Peter Gruber and Cathy Schulman have picked up the property, written by Mark Sable and illustrated by Julian Totino Todesco. On BOOM!’s side of the fence, Ross Richie and Andrew Cosby are also on board for the project.

This is not the first time that a BOOM! Studios property has been picked up by Hollywood: Universal has picked up Talent, Tag, and 2 Guns, while CBS snagged Station and David Entertainment has acquired North Wind. Still, this series was one of the highest-concept books of 2009, so Sable has definitely earned this great news. What say you, Rama readers?
