'SON OF SHAOLIN' OGN
Optioned for Film Before Release
Posted by Betsy Gomez on June 28, 2017
Image Comics is releasing a kung-fu epic OGN that has already been optioned by Sony / Columbia Pictures.
Son of Shaolin from writer Jay Longino and artist Caanan White follows Kyrie, an aspiring street artist who learns he is the last living descendant of an ancient Shaolin sect. The 120-page, full-color OGN is out September 20 for an MSRP of $16.99. Actress Aisha Tyler (Archer, Criminal Minds) provides an introduction.
Sony Pictures acquired the rights to the movie a year ago, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson attached to produce alongside Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia from Seven Bucks Productions (via Deadline). Longino, already an experienced screenwriter, is scripting the film and will executive produce with football star Ryan Kalil. Kalil reportedly financed production of the graphic novel.
