With comic book
adaptations on an all time high, another trip down adaptation lane is
getting ready to start developing. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are
going to produce Ed Brubaker's comic book series Sleeper, with the
help of scribes Shawn Ryan and David Wiener.
The story is set in an
noir universe where certain people randomly develop superpowers. One
of such people is Holden Carver, who is able to absorb pain and then
pass it on to others. Sleeper follows Carver “as he infiltrates a
criminal organization on behalf of a law enforcement agency. His
allegiances come into question, especially when he falls for the
alluring killer, Miss Misery.”
