THOR Writer Joins FREAKSHOW

Variety reports that Mark Protosevich, who penned the first draft of Thor, is looking to write and possibly direct an adaptation of the comic book Freakshow. He's also producing the project with Sheldon Turner and Jennifer Klein.

The comic, created by David Server and Jackson Lanzing with art from Joe Suitor, tells of five youngsters who are turned into mutants by a cataclysmic chemical explosion and must decide whether to use their newfound powers to save the city or exact revenge on those responsible after the world's only superhero is killed.

The book is published by Ape Entertainment (the same folks bringing you Scratch9 by C2F's Rob Worley).

Raimi Draws Down on EARP: SAINTS FOR SINNERS

Heat Vision reports that Sami Raimi is lined up to direct the big-screen adaptation of the Radical Publishing title Earp: Saints for Sinners.

The comic, created by Matt Cirulnick and David Manpearl of Mandeville Films re-imagines the legendary gunslinger in a near future Las Vegas where he has to take on the outlaws of the new West. The book was written by Cirulnick and M. Zachary Sherman with art by Mack Chater.

Cirulnick is writing the script for the film.

GANTZ Trailer

There's a new trailer for the Japanese-language live-action adaptation of Hiroya Oku's manga series Gantz online. The book tells the story of a pair of teenage friends who die tragically and become part of a "game" where they battle aliens. There's a black orb involved.

The film arrives in Asian markets in January 2011. Check it out:

A Better Look at THOR

In other Thor news, better res images from the movie have arrived online. The Hero Complex blog presents a high-res look at that shot of Odin's throne room. In it you can get a better look at details from the image. Odin's Helmet is revealed to be more like the Loki curly-horns and less of a Kirby tuning-fork than we though. Also, Loki and Fandral have quite a bit more color than was apparent in the previous version.

And there's also a nice, high-res view of this image as well
