Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of DC Comic's DEADMAN takes a step forward!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with news on Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of DC Comics' DEADMAN. What a great melding of material and director. If you don't know, DEADMAN is about the ghost of a murdered circus acrobat. His soul can possess any living being, thanks to a Hindu goddess, so he possesses people to protect the innocent and solve the mystery of his own death.

Warner Bros is making the flick and they've hired a guy by the name of Gary Dauberman based on a spec script (a zombie western) to work with Guillermo on the script. Good luck Gary! Can't wait to see this come about... certainly after HELLBOY 2, no?
