Producer Ryan Heppe has acquired the rights to author
Ron Harris 1984 Marvel Comic series Crash Ryan, which sounds a lot like the
2004 Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and "takes place in an alternate 1935 in a
world of super airplanes and giant flying airports. Crash Ryan is a pilot
caught up in the battle between the heroic United Airmen and the forces of
evil, led by a masked world conqueror who calls himself "the Doom.""
Heppe and Harris have teamed up for a
50-page outline of the film titled Crash Ryan and the Eyes of Lemuria, "which
reinvents the story as an earthbound, steampunk-inspired fusion of Indiana
Jones and Star Wars."
Crash Ryan was one of the first series of author-owned
titles published by Marvel Comics under their Epic Comics banner.
David Cowper, who recently co-wrote the adaptation of
Road Dawgs has been tapped to co-write the film with Heppe.
