Sony Pictures Moving Forward Rob Liefeld's Superhero Psychiatrist Film SHRINK
Sony pictures has decided to move forward with a film entitled Shrink, that will be based on a comic by Rob Liefeld, the comic writer who brought us Deadpool.
This movie will be based on a psychiatrist, Dr. Jessica Powers, whose clientele consists of super heroes. The word is that the film will be based on kind of an Analyze This concept, with a big Deadpool influence. Deadpool has been a hugely successful film franchise for Fox, so it makes sense that they find other projects in the same vein. There’s obviously a huge market out there for this type of movie.
The project was found by producer Adam Fields, who went digging through Sony’s 30 years of archived abandoned development, and saw this project that looked like it could be a huge comic/action success. He knew that with Liefeld’s name attached, this was pretty much a golden gig. Aside from Liefeld’s success with Deadpool, he became a fan favorite with his work on New Mutants and X-Force.
This sounds like it really could be an awesome movie! I have loved the Deadpool movies, and I think this story has the potential to be hilarious and chock full of super hero greatness.
Are you a fan of the comic? Who could you see playing Dr. Jessica Powers?
