Disney Jumps on Comic Movie Bandwagon With ‘Monster’

Disney has picked up the rights to a new comic book movie based on the graphic novel, Monster Attack Network. Jason Netter (Wanted) will be producing. 

The adventure tale, written by Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman with art by Nima Sorat, is set on the picture-perfect Pacific island of Lapuatu, which is populated by giant monsters. There, a team of adventurers deal with rampages and related crises and clean up messes afterwards. The team faces its biggest challenge when a shady industrialist shows up.

The book was published in May 2007.

Disney’s Shane Snoke brought the book to Brigham Taylor. The company is eyeing the project, described as having a “Men in Black” tone, as a tentpole with franchise potential.

Sounds interesting, we’ll see what they can do with it.
