Fox to Pick Up Mark Millar's Space Fantasy Comic STARLIGHT
Twentieth Century Fox is in negotiations to pick up Starlight, an upcoming comic from Wanted and Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar. Simon Kinberg, who worked on X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past, will write the script and produce the adaptation. The comic, drawn by Goran Parlov and due to be published by Image in March, is described by Millar as Flash Gordon meets The Dark Knight Returns.
It centers on a space hero who saved the universe 35 years ago but came back to Earth, where no one believed his fantastic stories. He settled down, got married, had kids and got old, but then is called back for one last adventure when his old rocket shows up.
The deal marks a reteaming between Kinberg and Millar. Kinberg is producing an adaptation of Millar's Kindergarten Heroes, which has Carter Blanchard on board writing the script. It also keeps Millar in the studio fold, as Fox is behind Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of Millar's miniseries The Secret Service, which stars Colin Firth.
