I am – Hercules!!
Bleeding Cool reports that Tony Scott (“The Hunger,” “Top Gun,” “Crimson Tide”) is now attached to direct Fox’s big-screen version of “Nemesis,” the dark, outrageous and enormously entertaining new funnybook written by Mark Millar, who earlier created “The Ultimates,” “Wanted” and “Kick-Ass,” among many other things.
The book follows a supervillain and mass murderer determined to compromise, humiliate and ultimately kill heroic and squeaky-clean D.C. chief inspector Blake Morrow, the man he blames for the death of his rich criminal father.
“Bryan Hitch and I would reference Tony on a weekly basis when we were doing The Ultimates. Our dream was an Ultimates movie with Scott directing because he can do the character work and the intensity, but also handle scale and action like practically no other,” Millar posted early Saturday. “The idea of a him helming a superhero movie had us giddy and here he is directing the one Steve McNiven and I created.”
