Brace yourselves, director Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand, Skyline) is heading back into comic book territory for a new film. Ratner and his production company, Rat Entertainment have reportedly acquired the rights to the comic book property The Unknowns, which is published by Femme Fatales Comics and was created by Mark A. Altman (Castle) , Steven Kriozere (NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service) and model/actress Monica Olsen.
