100 Bullets to Be Developed by David Goyer and Showtime


Comics and screenplay writer David Goyer is said to be working with Showtime in developing the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning 100 Bullets comic series into a tv series. The comic series was written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Eduardo Risso, and was published by Vertigo Comics between 1999 and 2009.

According to Deadline:

While lauded as one of the best comic books/graphic novels of the past decade 100 Bullets …  is a dark, noir-style story about the attempt by one man, the mysterious Agent Graves, to destroy a secret group of families that control most of the world’s wealth and power, and it also poses a classic moral question, “If you could get away with murdering the person who ruined your life, would you do it?” The book’s starting-off point is Graves giving ordinary people who have been wronged a pistol and a briefcase with 100 untraceable bullets, offering them to exact justice for themselves with no danger of being caught. The self-contained storylines eventually blend into a sprawling crime saga where everything — and everyone — is connected as Graves takes on a multinational clandestine organization named The Trust.

David Goyer has written numerous comic books and has several comics-to-screenplay film credits to his name per IMDb, including Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Blade II, Dark City, and the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. On television he was executive producer and writer on FlashForward, Threshold and Blade: The Series, amongst others.
