Movie studios have been known to cast a wide net for graphic novels to adapt to the big screen, but typically the comic’s creators are relegated to only a thank you in the end credits. That’s not the case with God Country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Legendary and Aftershock Media are developing a film based in the Image Comics book, God Country<\/strong><\/a>. The book’s author, Donny Cates, who created the series with artist Geoff Shaw, has been tapped to write the screen play.<\/p>\n

Image Comics solicitations describe the series as such:<\/p>\n

Emmet Quinlan, an old widower rattled by dementia, isn’t just a problem for his children\u2014his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home\u2014as well as the surrounding West Texas town\u2014a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage. The enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him more than a sound mind and body, however. He’s now the only man who can face the otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star State…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The series has received good reviews in the comic book community and has made Cates one of the most sought after creators working in comics. He has been given high-profile writing work at Marvel Comics on series such as Thanos, Venom <\/em>and Death of the Inhumans<\/em>.<\/p>\n

No word as of yet on a release date and the search begins for a director as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
