What’s the one thing that’s less Incognito than a comic about a supervillain in witness protection falling off the wagon and hitting the streets once more?
A movie about it.
Deadline has reported that Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ superhero noir book has been picked up by 20th Century Fox. Playwright Robert Schenkkan will be writing the adaptation, while Chernin Entertainment and Circle of Confusion will be teaming up for production duties.
“We’ve all seen the story of a good person who goes undercover and gets corrupted,” Bru told Deadline. “This is a bad person forced to live among regular people, and how he’s affected by that. He once ran around with a mask, but now he’s got the fake name and the fake job. My goal was to have you rooting for him as he grows a conscience.”
There’s currently no word as to when this might hit the big screen.

I hope Bru will actually be invovled in the scripting of this… Just as I wish he was involved in the scriping of the Captain America movie.

I totally dig the article, thanks for sharing the info. It’s not too often that you find a report where the blogger knows what they are ranting about. Grammar and spelling are right on as well, only trouble I seemed to have was bringing up the webpage, seemed slow. Any other visitors have the same trouble?
