runaways_mainAfter much rumor and speculation, it appears that Marvel Comic’s THE RUNAWAYS will soon be heading for celluloid. According to a Twitter post from Production Weekly, the film is set to shoot in the first half of 2011.
Unaware of the comic and not sure if you should be excited? Here is a quick summary of what to expect: The story circles around six kids whose parents get together once a year for a charity event. All seems normal until one year, they stumble upon a secret gathering and learn the awful truth – their parents are collectively known as The Pride, a criminal organization comprised of mob bosses, mad scientists, dark wizards, and time travelers. Not only that, but the kids each realize that they’ve gained some of their parents powers, including telepathic links to dinosaurs, mutant strength, and a penchant for futuristic gadgets. The comic debuted in April of 2003 and was created by Brian K. Vaughn and Adrian Alphona.
Rumor has it that NICK AND NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST director Peter Sollett may be tapped to direct but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. As the buzz builds, more concrete news to follow. Stay tuned for more info!
