The fact is, if every comic book that got optioned by Hollywood was actually made into a movie, nothing else woud get released. However that won’t stop anyone who can get their hands on one trying, as if you can get your adaptation of a comic into cinemas, the rewards can be enormous. The latest to get picked up is Adam Hamdy’s 2007 series, The Hunter, which the writer believed in so much he founded his own company, Dare Comics, so that he could publish it.
THR reports that Scarlet Fire Entertainment has picked up the rights to the Brit scribe’s comic series about Gabriel Mot, a CIA agent with extraordinary powers, who investigates a series of terror attacks but is seen as atraitor when he gets closer to the truth.
Hamdy will produce and also handle screenplay duties, although the film won’t follow the same story as the comics and will instead be an original Hunter tale.
However whether it will actually get to the screen is yet to be seen, although seeing a Hamdy pretty much launched his brand new superhero single-handedly, we wouldn’t be shocked if he managed to jump the hurdles that stand in the way of getting The Hunter to the big screen.
