Another comic book project now in development. Deadline reports that Fox has acquired the rights to adapt Ed Brubaker's comic book series Incognito that focuses on a "ruthless villain" named Zack Overkill who goes into the witness protection program after ratting out his boss The Black Death. Incognito is one of the comics that I picked up last year when it first came out and it's a fantastic series, kind of like Max Payne in terms of its grittiness; but it's dark series with a great story about an actual villain. However, I don't think we've seen a successful modern comic book movie that's about a villain yet, have we? Will this even work?
“He's not your typical villain and I was trying to blend the trappings of pulp, comic and noir genres," Brubaker told Deadline. "Zack was raised to be his world's equivalent of a supervillain. We've all seen the story of a good person who goes undercover and gets corrupted. This is a bad person forced to live among regular people, and how he's affected by that. He once ran around with a mask, but now he's got the fake name and the fake job. My goal was to have you rooting for him as he grows a conscience."
