BATTLE CHASERS optioned
Even though it's not being currently published anymore, comic book artist Joe Madureira's BATTLE CHASERS has been optioned at 20th Century Fox. Producer Gil Netter (PHONE BOOTH) will guide the project through Fox's development process with Ken Levin and Jason Netter serving as exec producers.
RIVERWORLD screenwriter Stuart Hazeldine is reportedly in talks to adapt Madureira's comic -- set in a fantasy world filled with magic and monsters -- into a feature-length screenplay. Hazeldine has written the thriller THE TENTH VICTIM, adapted THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH for Alex Proyas, and broke into Hollywood by selling a horror spec script to Universal titled RIZEN.
When it was being published BATTLE CHASERS had a love-hate relationship with comic book fans. While Madureira's was an huge hit with fans, issues started coming less frequently as the artist missed deadlines. Eventually months would pass before a new ish would appear in comic stores. The series was eventually folded last year although the artist has said that he has plans to resume the story again, one day.

Who could have guessed that another comic with big busted women would become a movie
anyhow, There is alot of robots and monsters running around, so with a big CGI budget this could be a nice popcorn movie. =)

Looks pretty neat.
I'm always on the lookout for sci-fi or fantasy movies or shows.If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.

Dude this is great news. Battle Chasers was my favorite comic book when it was out. Fantastic world created by Joe Mad. If this is done right it will be huge! However, knowing first hand how Joe Mad kept delaying the release of the comic books, this can be delayed well in the next decade.
