Mandeville Films will begin work on adapting Top Cow's upcoming comic book series, Crosshair into a feature film, the studio announced today.

The series, created by Marc Silvestri, written by Jeff Katz and illustrated by Silverstri and Allan Jefferson "follows a former CIA assassin turned suburban superdad who faces his most dangerous enemy ever - himself. Justin Weller learns that he has 48 hours until a suppressed program in his brain will turn him into an unstoppable killing machine aimed at the President of the United States. Weller races against the clock to uncover and reverse the source of his trigger."

The first issue of Crosshair is scheduled for release this October.

I LOVE this concept, hopefully a top director/actor duo hook up on this.

I think Tom Hardy should play Weller. Flavor of the month actor.

The movie does sound pretty interesting and I want to check out the comic.

Cool concept.

Its like The Manchurian Candidate with more bullets zinging and zanging and a car chase somewhere in the middle of it all.
