Mandeville Films have Top Cow adaption in their Crosshair!

I love me a high concept action thriller (More on that later) and from the sounds of this article from Comingsoon.Net there is an absolute doozy in the works.

 Mandeville Films will begin work on adapting Top Cow's upcoming comic book series, Crosshair into a feature film, the studio announced today.

The series, created by Marc Silvestri, written by Jeff Katz and illustrated by Silverstri and Allan Jefferson "follows a former CIA assassin turned suburban superdad who faces his most dangerous enemy ever - himself. Justin Weller learns that he has 48 hours until a suppressed program in his brain will turn him into an unstoppable killing machine aimed at the President of the United States. Weller races against the clock to uncover and reverse the source of his trigger."

The first issue of Crosshair is scheduled for release this October.

That has to be one of the best hich concept ideas I have read in ages, the hero having to actually stop himself from killing the President, not to mention the hinted at family aspect to it, hopefully some power players get involved so this sees the light of day with a good director and budget.
