F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job, The Negotiator) has a new film to direct, this time based around a graphic novel out of Oni Press. Mandalay Pictures has acquired film rights to the comic Julius, and has Gray set to lead the adaptation. The comic, written by Anthony Johnston and illustrated by Brett Wedele, puts a modern day spin on Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" work.
Mandalay president Cathy Schulman said that Gray "has a vision for this adaptation that will satirize obsessive consumerism while providing a thrilling ride for audiences."
