Hollywood loves Frank Miller these days... yet another one of his properties to be made into a feature!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. SIN CITY and 300 have been huge and now the business can't get enough of Frank Miller... after all these years.
The next property will be RONIN, which WB picked up. I must admit that RONIN is one of the other pieces by Miller that I'm not totally familiar with. I began reading it a few years ago, but then got distracted and ended up not picking it up again. I have to search it out again. Everybody I know loves it.
Sylvain White (STOMP THE YARD) is attached to direct and possibly script. At the moment they're working off a 15 page treatment White wrote.
The story centers on a reincarnated ronin who returns in a semi-modern time populated with many nasties, including mutants and demons.
Could be cool and it sounds like White has a passion for the story, but STOMP THE YARD and I'LL ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER don't evoke confidence. Thoughts?
