Crosshair Moves to Film

Mandeville Films will begin work on adapting Top Cow's upcoming comic book series, Crosshair into a feature film, the studio announced today.

The series, created by Marc Silvestri, written by Jeff Katz and illustrated by Silverstri and Allan Jefferson "follows a former CIA assassin turned suburban superdad who faces his most dangerous enemy ever - himself. Justin Weller learns that he has 48 hours until a suppressed program in his brain will turn him into an unstoppable killing machine aimed at the President of the United States. Weller races against the clock to uncover and reverse the source of his trigger."

The first issue of Crosshair is scheduled for release this October.

I'm really not sure about this long-running love affair the American consumer of comic books and action-adventure movies as with the CIA. Why do I say this? Because the CIA are not the good guys. They are villains, the black hats, the bad guys. The CIA (as well as other American intel groups) regularly committ terrible acts (assassination, torture, subverting democratically elected govermetns, acts of terrorism) not only to undermine foreign governments but to undermine the US governement as well. But here we go again with another "superspy" story turning these villains into objects of worship.
