Once he finishes World War Z (please let it be good) Marc Forster will be having a crack at turning Cowboy Ninja Viking into a movie.
The comic book adaptation was first mentioned back in 2010. Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have written the script.
It had been developed by Disney. However, as you can see from the synopsis below, it is a bit too violent for their tastes. Deadline have the news that Universal have now picked it up.
Cowboy Ninja Viking “is the creation of Doctor Sebastian Ghislain, a psychotherapist who recruits Multiple Personality Disorder patients to produce a unit of counter-intelligence agents called Triplets. When they become out of control assassins? That’s when the deadliest Triplet of them all, Cowboy Ninja Viking, is called in to take down his own brethren.”
The violent Image comic is by AJ Lieberman and Riley Rossmo.
It should make for one hell of a fun movie, but who could play CNV?
