A flood of comic book and graphic novel adaptations continue to move into development, including The Untamed, A Contract with God, Astro City, The Strange Case of Hyde, and the likely much-anticipated Xerxes, the prequel to Frank Miller's bloody and epic masterpiece, 300.

Adapted by Michael Tolkin from his eponymous novel, the script is part suspense/satire,
as a young studio exec becomes the chief suspect in a murder investigation. The story has
as much to say about the sordid dealings of the film industry as it does about a man's crime and
punishment guilt. Tolkin pulls a major coup in making this callous exec not only sympathetic,
but almost heroic. He cleverly plays into the audience's innate desire for the criminal to get away with the crime. |
