Scribe in for 'Suicide Squad' pactJustin Marks to adapt the DC Comics property for WarnersFeb 25, 2009, 09:00 PM ET
Warner Bros. and Justin Marks are ready to commit suicide.
The studio has tapped the scribe to adapt DC Comics property "Suicide Squad" as a feature film. Dan Lin and his studio-based Lin Pictures are on board as producers. Originally a back-up feature in 1960s "The Brave and the Bold," the stories focused on a team of non-super-powered people fighting monstrous menaces. The Squad was reconceived in the 1980s as a team of supervillains given one last shot at redemption by the government by accomplishing missions that will most likely kill them. It is this latter concept that Warners is working from. The villains involved have yet to be determined though Deadshot, an assassin with wrist-mounted guns, is a strong candidate. Stephen Gilchrist is co-producing. Jon Berg is overseeing for Warners. Gregory Noveck is overseeing for DC. Marks, currently doing a rewrite of Disney and McG's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," also wrote the Green Arrow comic book movie project "Supermax." He is repped by WMA and Madhouse Entertainment. Lin Pictures is in post on "Sherlock Holmes" and readying "Terminator: Salvation" for its May 21 release.
