After smacking the laws of physics, and good taste in
the face with curved bullets in Wanted, murderous children in Kick-Ass, and colorful
brutality in Kingsman: The Secret Service you can understand why I'm eager to
see the next three adaptations of Mark Millar's work, which will be quite different.
Speaking to JoBlo, Millar revealed that the script for
his sci-fi drama, which follows an aged and ignored intergalactic hero coming
out of retirement for one last adventure, is finished.
I think Starlight's
screenplay is finished now, it was written by Gary Whitta, he
finished the screenplay a couple of weeks back and we're just moving forward
now looking for a director.
The
second adaptation is Chrononauts, which sees
two geniuses that like to have fun, traveling through time and space, and
according to Millar they have found an actor for one of the lead roles, but
didn't specify who, if Corbin Quinn, or Danny Reilly.
Chrononauts, there's
one of the actors already and we're just looking for the second guy.
As for the third and last adaptation, Kindergarten Heroes, Millar says that it is coming along, and that a new
draft has been delivered to Fox.
That's over at Fox,
I'm executive producing. About two, three weeks ago, Carter Blanchard, the
screenwriter, handed in a new draft of it, so that's just up to Fox now. That's
going to be interesting, because my stuff is generally R-rated, and I do love
the idea of mixing it up a little. I love Quentin Tarantino,
but I love Steven Spielberg, as well. So I
love the idea of something like Starlight, or Chrononauts, something that's a
big family-friendly adventure, and Kindergarten Heroes would be the most overt
of those. I've got all these children, and I can never take them to any of my
movies, I feel terrible, I feel like the worst dad in the world! [Laughs] At
least with Kindergarten Heroes, they could probably play parts in the movie,
you know?
