SMAC - SHOWS, MOVIES & CHICKS

And here goes another comic adaption: BRETT RATNER (of RUSH HOUR fame) will direct ROB LIEFELDS YOUNGBLOOD comic book. It's about a fictional superhero team that made its debut as a backup feature in the 1987 one-shot Megaton: Explosion before later appearing in its own ongoing series in 1992 as the flagship publication for Image Comics (SPAWN). Through out their publishing history, they were originally published by Image Comics, and later by Awesome Entertainment. In 1998, LIEFELD hired ALAN MOORE (WATCHMEN) to relaunch and revamp Youngblood.
No word about the plot of the movie and whether it takes on LIEFELD oder MOORES vision of the comic.

RATNER to VARIETY: “Most of the great graphic novels are gone, and ‘Youngblood’ is one of the few comicbooks left with tentpole potential. It was a real personal passion project for me, and a lot of people wanted (‘Youngblood’), but the amazing thing about the guys at Reliance is the speed with which they’re able to move.”
