Rogers Reports on Catwoman, Mage and More

CHUD.com reports in an interview that screenwriter John Rogers has had his hand in or will have a hand inseveral projects stemming from comic books, including DC Comics's Catwoman, Matt Wagner's Mage and Greg Rucka's Queen and Country.

Rogers, whose diverse portfolio includes The Core, Jackie Chan Adventures, and USA's new Red Skies, explains his draw as a comics oriented screentwriter, "There's probably me and a couple of other guys. I don't have the big hit like [Blade writer David] Goyer to get my name up there, but I've probably done a broader spectrum of comic books. Plus I've probably worked on or developed or turned down 7 or 8."

Catwoman, according to Rogers, is now being polished for production. Mage has been greenlit by Disney and his now working towards a winter shoot while Roger's adaptation of Queen and Country is currently in the writing process.

The writer also revealed he has his eye on Richard Moore's comic Boneyard."I might actually come on as producer on that. I can't write it, but I'dlove to be there to protect it," Rogers told CHUD. "And they'reinterested in that, because a writer producer is a useful producer. Mostproducers can't really fix a script if it goes askew. From my legendarycrankiness with Catwoman, I have no problem banging heads againstdesks if I think something's going wrong on a comic property. To me there arethings on a comic property that are integral to the story."
