Watchmen producer Lloyd Levin will be at Comic-Con, shopping a script for a live action version of the Sebastian A. Jones comic series The Untamed, which was published by Stranger Comics. It is a dark fantasy revenge tale about a man released from hell and given seven days to reap the seven souls that murdered him and his family. Jones wrote the script and Boom! Studios co-founder Andrew Cosby is attached to make his directorial debut. Jones founded Stranger Comics, which he describes as a boutique digital comic publisher. Levin, whose fanboy resume also includes the Guillermo del Toro-directed Hellboy films and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, will produce with Andrew Sugerman (Shopgirl). The comic was illustrated by Peter Bergting and Darrell May.

Levin said they have locked in as visual effects supervisor Ken Locsmandi--he's worked on films like The Matrix and Fight Club and Apocalypto--and the project is being budgeted. He is confident financial will materialize for a modestly-budgeted film that has a harder edge than most fantasy fare. The main character, for instance, is hardly a sympathetic guy. In fact, he’s earned his place in hell.

“He’s killed a lot of people himself, but he not only gets the chance to unravel the mystery of who killed his family and get revenge, but there is a story of redemption here as well,” Levin said.
