Vigilante Entertainment Acquires Film Rights to Black Summer

Black SummerVariety reports that Vigilante Entertainment has acquired the film right to Warren Ellis's comic book series Black Summer. The comic books are about a group of scientists who have modified their bodies so they can fight crime and government and police corruption.
"Summer," published by Avatar Press in 2007, centers on superhero team the Seven Guns, a group of scientist-adventurers who modified their own bodies for street-fighting in order to take back their West Coast city from a corrupt police force, criminal local government and rapacious private security forces.

Ellis also penned the graphic novel "Red," with Summit in pre-production on an adaptation; Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman are attached.
Ryne Pearson (Knowing) has been tapped to write the screenplay adaption. Warren Ellis also had the film rights to his Gravel comic book series purchased recently by Legendary Pictures.
