In the comic series there are six mythical guns, each with their own other-worldly powers, and this one is the most powerful of the bunch. Ramsey will be joined by W. Earl Brown, Graham McTavish and Aldis Hodge were who also cast in the pilot today.

Last week it was revealed that NBC had ordered a pilot based on Cullen Bunn’s The Sixth Gun, a sci-fi western graphic novel series that is set during the Civil War era that puts a gunslinger up against dark forces with an innocent girl’s soul sitting in the cross hairs. Now it has been revealed that Jeffrey Reiner (Friday Night Lights, Awake) has been brought on to direct the upcoming pilot. No other details have been revealed yet, but we should expect to hear about some casting next.

NBC has committed to a pilot for Cullen Bunn’s The Sixth Gun, a sci-fi western graphic novel series that is set during the Civil War era that puts a gunslinger up against dark forces with an innocent girl’s soul sitting in the cross hairs. The pilot will be jointly spearheaded by producer Carlton Cuse (Lost) and screenwriter Ryan Condal (Hercules: The Thracian Wars).

The comic, created by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, is described as follows:

 

“During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. In time the Sixth Gun, the most dangerous of the weapons, vanished. When the gun surfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, dark forces reawaken. Vile men thought long dead set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing the girl. Only Drake Sinclair, a gunfighter with a shadowy past, stands in their way.”

Deadpool killed the Marvel Universe…so who’s next? Cullen Bunn and Matteo Lolli will take the direct sequel to Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe to somewhere you definitely aren’t expecting. Deadpool is about to embark on an all new killing spree in Deadpool: Killustrated that will see him take on some of the world’s most famous literary characters.

Writer Cullen Bunn on what to expect from the series:

In this story, Deadpool finds the means to travel through the Ideaverse. This is the place where the stories and characters that inspired the stories and characters of the Marvel Universe exist. Deadpool believes that if he can destroy them, he can retroactively destroy the characters and stories they inspire. Deadpool’s able to move in and out of different timelines and worlds to do his dirty work, but he’ll find that his presence in the Ideaverse may be having an adverse effect.

As for the characters he’ll encounter, I thought a lot about the tales of classic literature that mean a lot to me — and I thought about how to ruin them. I also tried to think about how those classic characters might correlate to the Marvel characters Deadpool’s trying to kill.

Characters he’ll encounter might include Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, Beowulf, and Don Quixote, among others. In every issue, Deadpool will be running into a few different characters, and I don’t want to spoil some of the surprises.

I loved Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe and am definitely looking forward to this one.
