Greg Berlanti to Produce Adaptation of Comic INFINITE HORIZON
Warner Bros. has picked up the rights to the comic book miniseries The Infinite Horizon from Image Comics, and Greg Berlanti is spearheading an adaptation. He’s the writer and producer behind TV shows such as Arrow and The Flash. It's unclear whether this version will ultimately be on film or television.
The six-issue comic was created by writer Gerry Duggan and artist Phil Noto, and the first issue was published in 2007. (The rest followed in 2011.) The story is heavily inspired by Homer’s The Odyssey, and it’s a military story that’s set in the near future. It follows “a soldier who leads a group of abandoned soldiers on a 10-year journey back home. Along the way, he faces shipwrecks, an opponent wearing Cyclops-like battle tech armor and the call of sirens.”
This sounds like a serious awesome story, and Ryan Condal is writing the script. I’m not sure that writer inspires confidence in the project, as he’s the same person who wrote Brett Ratner’s terrible Hercules movie with Dwayne Johnson. Hopefully Berlanti can steer him in the right direction.
There’s a lot of potential with this project, and I hope they can pull off the epic scale of it.
