Dark Horizons reports that Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired the film rights to B. Clay Moore’s upcoming comic book series Billy Smoke, hoping to turn it into a vehicle for “Lost” star Matthew Fox.
The comic’s story focuses on an elite hitman who is nearly killed during a botched job. Quite interestingly, he realizes that his only way to redemption is to rid the world of all assassins.
The project is being produced by Thunder Road; Oni Press is publishing the comic series.
