ORIG ARTICLE

The graphic novel "Caliber" is due for release in May 08. Johnny has mentioned wanting to do a cowboy type role. I would imagine IN will pick up the rights to this one without a blink.. note the author/creator...

The Arthurian legend as retold in the American Old West, with all of its great symbolism, magic and spirit of adventure. The Knights of the Round Table are all gunslingers bound by a code of honor to protect the weak and defend the innocent until they are undone from within by their own moral corruption. In this tale, Caliber itself is a tattooed six-gun, given to Arthur by the Indians and imbued with supernatural power. The secret of the gun is that it is never loaded with bullets, but when a man with Justice on his side is holding it, it can fire. When it does, it fires Thunder itself and never misses.

Genre: Mythical Western; Fantasy
Comic Book Release: May 2008

Hmmm, Timmy, how about directing?

TCW - read that elsewhere too and the name or the author
deppinately caught my eye
Another book for me to purchase and from the
cover I see some Burtonesque influence there

could make for an interesting movie
Sam - the screen writer
Tim the director
Johnny the producer and main character

Wonder if INFINITUM NIHIL has purchased the rights yet?

Yes Caliber is picked up by IN
STATUS: In Development
PRODUCER: Barry Levine
DIRECTOR: John Woo

but I dont think Johnny is going to BE in it.. he is only the Exec producer if and when it goes to film.

Sam has been working on Caliber now for quite some time and it is due out on shelves in May at better comic stores.
