Ice Cube wants to do a comic book movie... which one?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know a bunch of comic characters are running through your mind right now... but it's probably not anyone you're thinking.

I can't say I knew of this graphic novel, 10, before this announcement. It's from the creative duo of Shannon Eric Denton and Keith Giffin.

It's kind of a BATTLE ROYALE-ish tale about a man who receives a letter that appears to be a piece of junk mail telling him that he's in a competition with 9 others. The idea is whomever is left alive wins. He throws it out, not paying it any mind... until a man with an ax appears at his doorstep.

Ice Cube is developing the movie as a starring vehicle at Dimension. Gustin Nash (CHARLIE BARTLETT) and Jesse Cale adapt.
