Source: The Hollywood Reporter | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment

The Hollywood Reporter posts that movie studio Mandalay has picked up the rights to produce a feature film based on Boom! Studios' action-thriller comic "Unthinkable".

Written by comics veteran Mark Sable, "Unthinkable" deals with a genius recruited into a government think tank after the events of 9/11 to come up with the most impossible, wild scenarios for attacks on U.S. soil. Years after the project is disovled, the unthinkable attacks begin to occur - and the only one who can stop them is that same recruit.

According to THR, the book’s subject caused trouble this year for Sable when he was stopped by Los Angeles International Airport TSA employees who came across the script for one of the issues.

Iron Man 2.0 is here — and Tony Stark isn’t the one who made him! Ezekiel Stane is on the scene and fixated on avenging the death of his father, Obadiah. Every bit as ruthless and ten times as smart, the younger Stane is all five of Stark’s nightmares rolled into one — and his perversion of Stark’s technology into a weapon capable of slaying hundreds of innocents at a time starts the clock ticking on a chess game Iron Man must win! Then, the manhunt is on! As director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark had sole possession of a database that contained the secret identities of every registered hero in the country. But now, S.H.I.E.L.D. is no more. A casualty in the aftermath of the Skrull’s Secret Invasion, the international peacekeeping organization has been replaced by the Dark Reign of Norman Osborn and his newly conceived H.A.M.M.E.R. — a less kind, decidedly less gentle remaking of the legendary security force founded by Nick Fury. With Tony Stark in disgrace and on the run, the orders have come down from the highest level to every mercenary, mobster and Osborn minion: “Bring me the head of Tony Stark!” Collecting INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1-19.
