Couriers graphic novel on big screen
The latest comic series to start the big screen adaptation process is The Couriers, a series of graphic novels about two mercenary couriers called Moustafa and Special who take on the kind of jobs that all the other couriers just say no to. You know, we're talking Transporter kind of jobs.
The site for the graphic novels AiT/Planet Lar, has more information about their first outing:
They do the work the normal couriers are only barely aware of: intelligence, large cash transfers, protection, assassinations, blockade-running... you name it. But there is one job they always knew they would refuse, known as a "biologic." But when the package turns out to be a young deaf/mute girl from Nepal, with a gone-rogue Chinese Red Army Brigade hot on her heels, how can they NOT get involved? THE COURIERS is a pure action movie on paper.
It does sound like Transporter but with less style and hand combat action and way more madness and gun violence. Nice, but will it make it?
According to the story in The Hollywood Reporter, Javier Grillo-Marxuach is set to write the adaptation, and he's written for Boomtown, Lost and Medium. Those shows are all clever, indepth and quite complex, so it all sounds good for the adaptation so far doesn't it?
