Creators of Black Panther and Terminator: Dark Fate collaborating on a fresh time-travel film project.
Venturing Beyond Pages: "A Vicious Circle" Leaps into Film Production
The pulse-pounding graphic novel series, "A Vicious Circle," is stepping up its game! Originally a captivating tale of time-traveling assassins weaving their way through past and future, it's now set to become a movie. Exciting news, you ask? Absolutely!
This mind-bending project will be produced by the supremely talented Ryan Coogler, known for his stellar work on "Black Panther." Meanwhile, screenwriter duties will be handled by Mattson Tomlin, the brilliant mind behind the graphic novel series and the upcoming Netflix animated series "Terminator Zero." Tomlin isn't just a one-trick pony; he's also co-written "The Batman II" script with Matt Reeves.
Furthermore, "A Vicious Circle" artist extraordinaire Lee Bermejo, who contributes significantly to the graphic novel's unique art style, will also be on board.
The titillating tidbits come straight from the Hollywood Reporter. They've branded the project a two-handed thriller, drawing parallels to both "John Wick" and "Looper." And, if the descriptions are anything to go by, it's a fitting comparison: "Shawn Thacker, a future assassin, seeks revenge on his rival who shares the same affliction. Each life they take forces them to travel between vastly different past and future eras, leading to a duel that transcends millions of years."
With such heavyweights involved, it's no wonder that everyone is eagerly awaiting this creative partnership, despite their already packed schedules. Coogler, for instance, has a mysterious maybe-vampire movie in the works with Michael B. Jordan, while Tomlin's "Terminator Zero" debut is slated for August 29.
If you're a sci-fi action aficionado, this collaboration is surely one to keep your eyes peeled for! What other exciting releases are on the horizon?
