John Woo Set To Turn Comic Book Title Into Motion Picture!! Is It Legion Of Superheroes?? The Doom Patrol?? Planetary??

I am – Hercules!!



John Woo (“Hard-Boiled,” “Hard Target,” “Broken Arrow,” “Face/Off,” “Mission: Impossible II,” “Windtalkers,” “Paycheck”) is set to direct a big-screen adaptation of the Radical comic book title “Caliber.”

Variety describes the premise:

Radical Comics' hit story sets King Arthur and his knights as 19th century gunslingers in the Pacific Northwest.

Woo has loads of other movie projects on his to-do list, including the second part of “Red Cliff” and “1949,” so it’s a little uncertain when he’ll get around to “Caliber.

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
