Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada talked to MTV revealing his hopes for Killraven film. The project has been in the works but has been in limbo for years. Set in an alternate future New York where mankind has been enslaved by a second invasion of Wells' Martians (from The War of the Worlds, but with immunity). Jonathan Killraven is born in captivity, rises through gladiatorial battles to become the leader of a group of revolutionaries. Called the Freemen, his warrior-slaves unite in an attempt to drive the invaders off the Earth.
Robert Schenkkan had been hired to write the film's script back when it was setup at Sony Pictures. Schenkkan most recently wrote for television writing episodes for The Pacific.
CASTING THOUGHTS:
Kevin McKidd (Trainspotting, Rome), Sam Worthington (Clash of The Titans, Terminator Salvation) and Tony Curran (Blade 2, Underworld 2, Gladiator).
