Tony Scott to direct Mark Millar's Nemesis
Released in stores last March, the graphic novel follows the exploits of billionaire genius Matt Anderson, a great fighter looking to exact revenge on those who killed his parents. Anderson also happens to be an evil villain who travels the globe killing off high-ranking police officials. The story finds Matt heading to Washington D.C., where he plots a campaign of terror against Blake Marrow, the police chief who captured, tortured, and killed his parents.
A writer is currently being sought for the production. Tony Scott will take on Nemesis after he completes work on his next project, which he hasn't quite decided upon yet. On his plate are Potsdamer Platz, Hell's Angels (both of which are set to star Mickey Rourke), and The Associate (which is based on John Grisham's novel and stars Shia LaBeouf).
Nemesis comes to theaters in 2013. The film is directed by Tony Scott.

@darksektor1971 Yes i completely agree! Man I can see Tony gettin into it with the MPAA over a lot of things if he in fact stays true to the graphic novel. But all in all it will be a very intense adaptation! CAN'T WAIT!!!

i've just read the first two and aside from the story...i think this can't be treated like 300-WATCHMEN-SIN CITY kind of movie (meaning-try to follow panel by panel)..man...this duo of millar-mcniven have portrayed a really f*cked up mass killer in nemesis....as you can tell by the graphic novel, he(nemesis) doesn't care of how many he must kill to get his primary target..and that'means killing innocent people...this is gonna be a really HARDCORE MOVIE...if he stays true to the novel, R rated it's going to be a joke....

I just searched Icon Comics at Wkipedia and it says it's "an imprint of Marvel Comics for creator-owned titles, designed to keep select "A-list" creators producing for Marvel rather than seeing them take creator-owned work to other publishers."
Maybe what you read was referring to the tagline during the marketing campaign for the series, which went "What if Batman was the Joker?" Someone could mistake it for a DC comic after reading that.

When I said "keeping Man on Fire in mind," I meant because he told a kick-ass revenge tale with that movie, so he knows the genre. He just needs to get a little crazier with this.
I bet he casts Denzel Washington as Blake Marrow.

@narrator I agree! Yeah, let's give it a different kind of look to this film! Come on, Tony! Try something different! lol - @andrewryan He should try a different look, not the Man On Fire kind of cinematography. That looks been over done. To me anyway. I wanna see something fresh and new and daring, and not something he's done plenty times before.

I hope he gets a different cinematographer for this adaption. I'm getting tired of the same old green like tints, and rather cutty voids.

What a coincidence...I just bought the first two issues today. I think Tony's right for the job, keeping Man on Fire in mind.

Love it! The graphic novel is incredible, and I'm sure Tony will stay true to it and add a little something extra to it as well.
