J. Scott Campbell's DANGER GIRL Comic is Being Developed as a Film and TV Series!
J. Scott Campbell's Danger Girl was one of my favorite comic books to read when I was a teen. I loved the concept of badass female super spies! I've been wanting to see this comic adapted into a feature film or TV series for years and it's finally going to happen!
According to Deadline, Constantin Film acquired rights to the comic book series and they are teaming up with Jeremy Bolt’s Bolt Pictures and Adrian Askarieh’s Prime Universe Films to produce a film and develop a TV show based on the property.
The creators of the comic, J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell, are set to executive produce the series. The studio is currently on the hunt a writer and director to develop the film.
Danger Girl was launched in 1996 by the comic publisher Wildstorm. It eventually moved to DC Comics. The team known as Danger Girl is a top-secret spy organization the was formed by a former MI-6 agent known as Deuce in response to reports that a “Fourth Reich” had been formed and was nearly ready to unleash its forces upon the world. The first recruits under the Danger Girl organization were Sydney Savage, Natalia Kassle and Silicon Valerie. Together they track down and locate a series of mystical objects to keep them out of the hands of the criminal enterprise The Hammer Syndicate.
When talking about Danger Girl, Producer Robert Kulzer said:
"Looking at Danger Girl’s lead character Abbey Chase and her posse of thrill-seeking femme fatales, female empowerment and wish fulfillment have never been more fun."
Producer Jeremy Bolt added:
“Danger Girl is the perfect opportunity to create a team of grounded, relatable, and dangerous young female characters, but with humor and spectacular action.”
And, producer Adrian Askarieh said:
“I have been a fan of Danger Girl for more than 20 years and the idea of being part of the team to finally bring Scott’s and Andy’s iconic creation to the screen is incredibly exciting.”
Being a longtime fan of Danger Girl, I can't wait to see how this film and TV series turns out! With the success of Wonder Woman and a Captain Marvel movie on the way, we are sure to see a surge of female-led action films. Danger Girl will make an awesome addition!
