'Transformers' Writer To Script 'The Forgotten' Adaptation?
23 December 2009 6:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Earlier this week, we brought you the news that producers Don Murphy ("We3") and John Wells had renewed their option on Jareth Grealish and Evan Young’s “The Forgotten” comic book. Grealish hinted that a "well-established screenwriter" was attached to the project, and it hasn't taken long for the first rumor to surface regarding who that writer could be.
According to SlashFilm, "Transformers" writer John Rogers will pen the screenplay for the film, which adapts the 2002 four-issue miniseries about a man with the ability to make those around him forget that he ever existed as he attempts to unravel a murder mystery.
If the rumor proves true, Rogers will add "The Forgotten" to a resume already stacked with comics projects and comics-related work. He previously scripted and produced an early adaptation of Warren Ellis' "Global Frequency" series, and co-created the new version of DC's Blue Beetle character with veteran »

Ellis's 'Frequency' headed to The CW?
18 November 2009 5:07 PM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
The CW is planning to adapt the Warren Ellis-penned comic book Global Frequency. Pushing Daisies scribe Scott Nimerfo has been tapped to write the pilot, reports Production Weekly. "I haven't been cleared to comment yet, so I can't really add anything to this. I've spoken briefly to Scott Nimerfro - by which I mean I threatened to have him stabbed, and he thanked me and told me a funny story about how he's had worse threats - and (more) »

Comic Adaptations: Platinum Studios Tackles Nightfall; CW Tries Again With Global Frequency
18 November 2009 10:15 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
What if you went to prison, only to discover that the institution was run by vampires? That's the very silly premise behind the graphic novel Nightfall, which is now the target of a film adaptation by Aurora Productions and Nightfall's publisher Platinum Studios. (Someone, please tell me why vampires might run a prison. I'm so curious.) Scott O. Brown and Ferran Xalabarder are behind the graphic novel; no talent is on board the film adaptation yet. Variety reports that this is one more high-concept project to join a couple of other projects Platinum has cooking, like Witchblade and Cowboys & Aliens. After the break, the resurrection of an unlikely comic-based TV series. Just when you thought Global Frequency had been squelched on television, the signal is coming back again. This is pretty damn weird. the CW network is going to make a television show based on the Warren Ellis series Global »

The CW to Take Another Stab at Warren Ellis’ Global Frequency TV Show
18 November 2009 9:29 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
I’ve read a lot of Warren Ellis’ comic book work, but I’ve never read his “Global Frequency”. Initially I thought this was the comic series “Planetary”, but apparently they are two separate works. In “Frequency”, a woman name Miranda Zero leads a covert unit made up of exactly 1,001 operatives around the world, and their mission is to stop world-threatening situations before the public knows about it. Ellis apparently fashioned the series as a series of single, stand-alone issues, much like a TV show. Warner Bros. tried to adapt the comic into a TV series back in 2005, when the channel was still called WB. Fast-forward to 2009, and the WB is now the CW, and they’re once again looking at a “Global Frequency” series. MTV reports that Warren Ellis has all but confirmed the second attempt at a “Global Frequency” TV series, posting: I haven’t been cleared to comment yet, »

Warren Ellis' 'Global Frequency' To Be Adapted (Again)
18 November 2009 6:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Warren Ellis' "Global Frequency" is making another run at the small screen, as The CW Network is allegedly trying to adapt the comic book series once again.
According to Production Weekly's Twitter feed, a second adaptation of "Global Frequency" is in the works courtesy of The CW and writer Scott Nimerfro. The news was further touched upon by Ellis himself, who wrote on his personal website that he hadn't "been cleared to comment yet" by the network.
"Shouldn't say any more until I get the nod from the studio," said Ellis. "But yes."
For some context, "Global Frequency" was previously attempted as a television series for The WB Network — the initial form of The CW — back in 2005. The project went as far as the pilot phase, with "True Blood" and "Battlestar Galactica" actress Michelle Forbes assuming the role of Miranda Zero, the leader of the Global Frequency, an organization »

'Global Frequency' back to TV?
18 November 2009 4:25 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Global Frequency, the DC/Wildstorm comic, might be back in play as a TV series.
You may remember that in 2005, Mark Burnett (producer of Survivor) and John Rogers (who would go on to write the comic Blue Beetle and create the show Leverage) created a pilot for the WB. The pilot wasn't picked up; however, it got leaked to the Interwebs and became the most watched pilot that never got picked up.
Now the industry magazine Production Weekly has just posted the following on Twitter: The CW will again try to adapt Warren Ellis' comic book "Global Frequency," this time Scott Nimerfro will script the pilot. Scott Nimerfro has written for Star Trek: Voyager, Tales From The Crypt, Perversions Of Science, The Outer Limits, Stargate: Atlantis, and Pushing Daisies, and was an associate producer on the X-Men movie.

[Updated] Five Warren Ellis Comics We Want To See Adapted
12 November 2009 8:16 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Since his comic book debut in 1990, Warren Ellis has been one of the most prolific writers in the comic industry with dozens of original creations in addition to several books for Marvel and DC.
Following the recent announcement that “Black Summer” was optioned by Vigilante Entertainment in addition to the upcoming film adaptations of his “Red” and “Gravel” series, it seems clear that Ellis has become an in-demand comic creator in Hollywood.
With an eye toward more of Ellis' work finding its way to the big (or small) screen, here are five of his projects that would also make excellent films or TV series.
Freakangels: Recently featured in our weekly "Adapt This" feature, Ellis and artist Paul Duffield's “FreakAngels” webcomic follows a group of telepaths in London rebuilding their world after a major disaster—a disaster they had a part in causing.
As one of Ellis’ more recent creations, the »

Warren Ellis on the genesis of Global Frequency:
I defined Global Frequency from the start as Rescue Fiction. if not explicitly Post-9/11 Rescue Fiction. Because Thunderbirds is the anti-Superman. Now, I just woke up, so it’s okay if that doesn’t make sense. But immediately after 9/11 I found people on message boards Actually Saying Out Loud that they wished Superman were real because he would have saved the Wtc. And that is an anti-evolutionary wish. What you say is, I wish the dozen or so people who knew this was going to happen could have informed someone who »
