‘Hitman’ Producer And ‘Trollhunter’ Director To Adapt Image’s ‘Enormous’

Geekscape friend and Producer Adrian Askarieh (Hitman) and director Andre Ovredal (Trollhunter) are teaming up for a transmedia adaptation of Image Comics’ Enormous. Enormous tells of how humanity is plunged down the food chain when an ecological event creates gargantuan beasts that decimate civilization. The graphic novel was published by Image earlier this year and centered around a woman who tries to collect and save lost children.

Their plans include a high-end digital Web series, a TV show and a feature film. The duo say they want a tone similar to the film Cloverfield and the TV adaptation of The Walking Dead. They would like to focus on strong characters and complicated relationships with the monsters as the background for the adaptation. Sounds like a solid idea but I don’t know how well it will fare with the regular everyday television viewer (or with Legendary’s Godzilla film around the corner).
