Proof is in the recent announcements that other comics like Iron Man and Rising Stars will be making the jump to the big screen. Carl Potts' Alien Legion . Potts has been shopping his concept around for years now, originally as a TV movie, and more recently as a feature film. Time will tell if we're successful. The main concern is that this would be a BIG film to make.
Studios are reluctant to commit to huge films.
It takes a lot of convincing, even with a strong high concept. Potts will co-produce the film, and Zeik will be the executive producer. The comic was originally published by Marvel's Epic Comics back in the mid 1980s. Fans of the comic know that the Alien Legion focuses on a ragtag band of soldiers of fortune, priests and poets, killers and cads, culled from the dregs of the sentient races of three galaxies, and battle-hardened into a fighting force. The Union represents the majority of known systems, and is allied against the Harkilon Empire.
