Joe Roth to Produce Big Screen Adaptation of Hollywood Lawyer’s Comic Book ANOMALY


In true Hollywood style, high-powered lawyer Skip Brittenham has expressed his love of comic books by orchestrating a package deal for his graphic novel creation. Brittenham has not only penned a graphic novel, but it’s also going to roll out with augmented reality apps and is also already in the development stages of a film adaptation with Alice in Wonderland producer Joe Roth.

According to THR, Brittenham, who has represented stars like Eddie Murphy and Harrison Ford, has teamed with artist Brian Haberlin (Witchblade, Spawn) to write a story for a comic they are calling Anomaly. The graphic novel will incidentally be published by their own transmedia company Anomaly Productions.

Anomaly will be a hefty 370-page graphic novel with art by Haberlin along with Geirrod Van Dyke. The October release will be synchronized with supplemental apps for tablet with name sci-fi and video game voice actors and an augmented reality app that will involve “interactive 3D and holographic technology.”

Add a film adaptation to the mix and you’ve got a master-planned franchise rolling out for Anomaly. So what’s this graphic novel even about? Check out the synopsis below.

Synopsis:

“The story of Anomaly is set 2717, where humans have colonized the galaxy and one corporation plunders the resources of alien planets. A group of explorers arrive on a planet for a diplomatic mission but are drawn into a larger conflict. Brittenham and Haberlin worked with professors in philosophy, religion and science to make the world as fully-realized as possible.”
