SLEEPER
Creator Ed Brubaker told Sci Fi Wire that he's happy to stay out of the filmmaking process. "I've talked to the producers a lot, but, you know, [if] Tom Cruise is going to star in this thing, I've got comics to write," Brubaker said. "I would love it if they make it, and I want to go visit and everything. I can't imagine on that level working with like Tom Cruise and Sam Raimi. I think I would actually feel daunted, and I'd prefer not to feel daunted. Plus, I know that movie's going to cost $100 million. Even if I wrote a draft, I'll be better off letting them hire a bunch of other writers and then send me scripts to fix."
No release date announced.
HUMAN TARGET
Sci Fi Wire also noted that Fox has ordered a pilot for the Vertigo/DC property, the second incarnation of the property.
