Sam Worthington’s Full Clip Teams With Radical – Creating Comics To Adapt for Film


Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation, Clash of the Titans) apparently wasn’t busy enough with all of his future projects, from Quatermain and Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future to the proposed Avatar 2 (among others) so, he started his own production company called Full Clip Productions.

THR is reporting that Full Clip is teaming with comic house, Radical Publishing “on an imprint deal to create and develop intellectual property that would be published with an eye towards screen adaptations.” We told you recently that Radical had also partnered with Imagine Entertainment to develop their dark fairy tale, Legends, and they are also developing Oblivion with TRON: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski.

The relationship between Worthington and Radical is nothing new, we reported back in November that Worthington had been working with Radical on the big-screen adaptation of The Last Days of American Crime and that relationship has obviously grown.

The first project in the Full Clip/Radical relationship will be based on a graphic novel called Damaged, created by John Schwarz and Michael Schwarz, written by David Lapham.

Damaged

“centers on two brothers committed to justice in different ways — one inside the law, one violently beyond it. Now with the end of their careers approaching, they must train their replacements, hoping to remake them in their image. But the vigilante code has changed and the brothers are left unprepared for the true lawlessness and corruption that is about to be unleashed.”

They currently do not have a screenwriter attached to adapt Damaged for film, nor is there word on whether or not Worthington would star in the adaptation.
