Well, here's an interesting one. We've seen movies based on: video games, board games, toys, not to mention plays, other movies, and books. This week, we look at a film that is going to be based on an illustration.

To
be based on an illustration by
Alex Panagopoulos. Dwayne Johnson, Beau Flynn and Hiram Garcia will produce.
Johnson is also attached to star. New Line's Michael Disco & Sam Brown
and Flynn's Adam Yoelin will oversee. Garcia, a former assistant to Johnson,
found the illustration and brought it to New Line & Flynn. No writer is
attached yet.

An illustration? I'm intrigued. Not sure I love the idea that movies are made based off illustrations, but I'm at least curious to see it.
Oh. Ok. I'll bite. This could be fun. There's a ton of potential in there (for either a great film, or an awful one). But if a picture is worth a thousand words, then this is a strong and succinct pitch. And nowhere near as awful as my skeptical mind thought it would be. Of course, a lot of it will come down to who they get to write the thing.
