Scribe Drew Pearce became synonymous with the superhero scene upon creating, producing, and writing for the televised superhero satire No Heroics. After that, he was hired to pen a script for Marvel’s Runaways, and now he’s on board to write for yet another project about superheroes.
Paramount has snagged Pearce to give DC Comics’ The Mighty a film adaptation according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog. The comic focuses on a police officer’s suspicions about an adored hero and his potential connection to a series of murders.
Although we’ve seen quite a few superhero movies over the last few years – and will continue to see them for even longer – The Mighty seems to be offering a different take on superheroes than most mainstream films are. Hopefully that’ll translate well to the silver screen.
