THE KAIJU SCORE November Comic Book Series Lands At Sony For Feature Film Development
The word from Mike Fleming Jr. at Deadline is that Sony Pictures has acquired rights to AfterShock Comics’s forthcoming comic book series, The Kaiju Score, publishing November 25.
The series hails from writer James Patrick and creator/illustrator Rem Broo and centers on a group of four individuals – each with personal stories of their own – who must find a way out of the worst situation possible: carrying out a meticulous heist in the midst of a devastating kaiju attack.
AfterShock blogger Afteradminez elucidates in statements from Patrick that describe the upcoming comic series as “…a Quentin Tarantino film taking place in some corner of a Godzilla movie,”
He adds: “It started with Donald Westlake books like the Parker series. I wanted to do something contemporary like those, “But when Rem [Broo, co-creator and artist] came aboard, I knew it felt more Oceans 11 and I adjusted.”
As Fleming Jr. notes, the film will be produced by Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch of Escape Artists, in addition to Tony Shaw, and AfterShock’s Lee Kramer and Jon Kramer. Jiao Chen is overseeing for Sony.
