Comics ’ capital rag - tag crowd of exotic soldiers is finally getting the attention it deserves , with an epic flick produced byJerry Bruckheimerand Disney . But can Disney re - createAlien Legion‘s gritty space war without become it PG ?
Alien Legion was created by Carl Potts as a mirthful series about an alien alien legion — recall of it as the French Foreign Legion mix with Halo and Band of Brothers . It ’s moderately realistic , for a series about an Alien Legion , but the audience really gets sucked in by these characters and what they have to do to make it warfare in place .
According toUSA Today , Dark Horse is coming out with a new four - takings Alien Legion comic serial in 2010 , with Chuck Dixon and Larry Stroman . But the enceinte news is Alien Legion may ultimately be making its way onto the big screen .
“ Alien Legion has been optioned for some time , ” Potts confirms . “ The script is currently in its third rewrite . ” In a recent interview with film fan - site Heyuguys.co.uk , Derek Haas unwrap that he and write pardner Michael Brandt ( Wanted , 3:10 to Yuma ) are make over the Alien Legion script for Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney . Potts trust Bruckheimer is the type of producer who could do a great task on a film version of Legion . “ Bruckheimer ’s never done a scientific discipline - fiction before , so that challenge , I remember , is something that would take hold his interest . The achiever they ’ve had with blending CGI and resilient - action characters in The Pirates of the Caribbean series could translate easily to an Alien Legion film . ”
My only concern is the Disney / Bruckheimer ingredient , because after all this is a gritty serial publication . But Disney is getting darker and darker with some late projects , and this would be a pretty large step for them . So we ’re cautiously optimistic , peculiarly since the project has been kicked around for years and somehow something always seems to get in the mode .
