Platinum Studios, Inc., announced Tuesday that they are developing comic book series "The Weapon" into a feature film.
Scott Rosenberg, CEO of Platinum Studios and producer of "Cowboys & Aliens," will act as producer on the film.
"The Weapon" is about a martial arts enthusiast, Tommy Zhou, who has discovered a means to create solid objects from light--and invented a superhero persona to promote it, The Weapon. Not believing the legends his grandfather told him as a child, Zhou's inventions unsuspectingly make him the target of a millennia-old assassin cult that's convinced he's unlocked the ancient mystical techniques of the Order of Wu-Shi--"The Way of the Weapon."
"We believe 'The Weapon' will be an attractive project for both international film financiers and Hollywood producers," Rosenberg said. "This property is one of those with enormous franchise potential."
"The Weapon" is written by New York Times bestselling author Fred Van Lente. Mr. Van Lente is also the author of "Marvel Zombies," "Incredible Hercules" (with Greg Pak), "Odd Is On Our Side" (with Dean R. Koontz) and "Cowboys and Aliens," which was adapted into last summer's feature film.
