Nicolas Winding Refn in-Talks to Direct Button Man: The Killing Game

[Sgt.Pepper]

EXCLUSIVE: Drive helmer Nicolas Winding Refn is in talks with DreamWorks to direct Button Man, an adaptation of the graphic novel Button Man: The Killing Game by John Wagner and Arthur Ranson. Wagner created Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog. The action revolves around Harry Exton, a hired gun who’s offered a fortune to take part in a game organized by bored millionaires that sets trained killers against one another in a fight to the death. The fat cats bet on the proceedings, and when Exton gets disgusted and opts out, his only exit strategy might be to off the millionaires funding the competition. The film is produced by Roger Kass, Josh Braun and Michael De Luca.

This doesn't sound that appealing to me. But if he is really going to helm it then this project, without a doubt, has my attention.

This guy loves his one man violent killing machine hero.

It sounds good but I can't help how WB should be a little more pro-active with Refn before they lose him.
