Jonathan Mostow will partner with Virgin Comics to develop a feature from The Megas, reports Variety. It's unclear whether Mostow will pen the screenplay or direct the graphic novel created by John Harrison and Peter Rubin. Mostow, Virgin's Gotham Chopra and Sharad Devarajan will begin shopping the spec around Hollywood shortly. Mostow will also begin production on the Bruce Willis-led futuristic action-thriller Surrogates in eight weeks in preparation for a November 2009 theatrical bow for Disney.
Plot Concept: The storyline of The Megas revolves around Detective Jack Madison and his race-against-the-clock investigation to uncover secrets behind the mysterious sex-fueled suicide of a Prince in The Megas royal family. Meanwhile, the King is on his deathbed at The White Palace (same location as The White House), and society is bracing for the inevitable chaos that will surely ensue once he dies. As one controversial truth after another is revealed, Detective Madison finds himself entrenched in lies, corruption and. well.. I guess as much as things change, they still stay the same.
