Paramount hires ORPHAN scribe to pen LAST MAN STANDING
Paramount has found it’s writer for the upcoming sci-fi adaptation of Last Man Standing. Variety reports that Orphan scribe David Leslie Johnson has been hired to adapt Daniel LuVisi's graphic novel. The novel was a HUGE hit at Comic-Con this year, selling out in less than two hours.
The novel was recently published by Kevin Eastman's Heavy Metal label. LuVisi took 2 ½ years to make the novel, which is now being expanded into a comic book series and multi-platform franchise property. It tells the story, “set 600 years in the future, follows an invincible soldier created to help Earth win a war against Mars. After becoming a celebrity hero, he's framed for a heinous crime by a terrorist organization. After a nine-year prison sentence, he escapes and sets out to even the score.”
Johnson broke onto the scene with Orphan and recently penned the Red Riding Hood, and co-wrote Wrath of the Titans for WB and Legendary Pictures. Lets hope that Last Man Standing is no where near the level of Red Riding Hood. I love futuristic sci-fi movies, so I think I will like this. What are your thoughts?
