GRAPHIC NOVEL ‘LORE’ COMING TO THE BIG SCREEN
Andrew Lazar’s Mad Chance and Circle of Confusion are teaming up to give IDW Publishing graphic novel “Lore” the big-screen treatment.
Cory Goodman, the scribe who wrote the Paul Bettany vampire thriller “Priest” for Screen Gems, and Jeremy Lott will write the screenplay.
The producers are hoping to launch an action-adventure franchise in the vein of “Men in Black,” this one focused on mythological creatures. The story focuses on a young man who reluctantly becomes a member of an elite secret order charged with protecting humanity from the beasts of folklore who invade our world.
The comic was created by Australian Ashley Wood and T.P. Louise, who at last year’s Comic-Con sold the rights to their book “World War Robot” to Jerry Bruckheimer.

“They go off in their own direction, but you know how if you read ‘Jaws’ and see the movie ‘Jaws,’ they’re two completely different things? They’re both valid, they’re both great. I don’t know if I would want to give up the film version of ‘Jaws’ to make something that’s note-for-note exactly the same as the book.”
