VENOM Director Ruben Fleischer to Direct Adaptation of Garth Ennis' Comic MARJORIE FINNEGAN, TEMPORAL CRIMINAL
Ruben Fleisher, the director behind Venom, Zombieland, and Uncharted, is set to helm a feature film adaptation of Garth Ennis’ (The Boys, Preacher) graphic novel Marjorie Finnegan, Temporal Criminal for the big screen.
The eight-issue comic is an action-packed time travel epic that follows a thief as she loots her way through history. Here is the full description of the graphic novel:
All Marj wants to do is race up and down the time-lanes, stealing every shiny-gleamy-pretty-sparkly thing she can lay her hands on. But her larcenous trail draws the beady eye of the Temporal PD, whose number one Deputy Marshall is now hard on her tail— and taking things extremely personally.
The project is set up at AWA Studios and the script is being written by Catya McMullen (Georgia Mertching is Dead).
Ennis said in a statement: “Goran Sudžuka and I are delighted to see Marjorie Finnegan making the move to the big screen. Ruben Fleischer, AWA Studios, LuckyChap Entertainment, and Catya McMullen are just the gang to get it done.”
Fleischer added: “Garth Ennis has proven time and time again why he is one of the most original voices in the world of comics. I feel so lucky and honored to bring a piece of his to life onscreen. Add to that the incredibly talented writing of Catya McMullen along with the fine folks at LuckyChap Entertainment and AWA, and this project is the kind of thing dreams are made of. We are poised to make that completely original and amazing time travel franchise the world has been waiting for.”
Are any of you familiar with the comic? Do you think it will make for a good movie?
