BenderSpink Heads To The New West

Sci-fi western comic searching for adaptationBenderSpink, the expansion-management company run by Chris Bender and JC Spink (see whatever they did there?) just clicked on within the rights to Jimmy Palmiotti and Phil Noto's brief indie comic series The Completely New West.The story involves disgraced police detective Daniel Wise, in the blasted near-future LA. An electromagnetic pulse blast makes all technology useless, littering the streets with abandoned automobiles and producing a significant crimewave the cops is only able to counter on horseback. When the mayor is kidnapped, our anti-hero, with a unfortunate previous history along with his municipal superior, must increase and conduct his save mission getting a sword...The project is mounted on BenderSpink's recent push to develop original comics that have movie potential, in cahoots with Sean Patrick O'Reilly's Arcana Comics. The Completely New West is slightly off aside of the deal though, since its a present property, launched with the now-defunct Black Bull Entertainment in 2005.BenderSpink may be the organization behind the Ring remakes as well as the Butterfly Effect movies, but comics aren't a completely new factor on their own account. They produced David Cronenberg's Past Violence from John Wagner and Vincent Locke's graphic novel, and they're developing John K. Vaughan's Y: The Ultimate Guy andEx Machina, among other comic-y projects.There's not sure yet on screenwriters or company company directors for your New West, but Palmiotti themselves isn't a stranger to scripting, getting written Painkiller Jane for SyFy, together with a draft in the as-yet unproduced Dead Space movie. Could he be up for adapting their very own work, and could he ensure it is not appear as being a mix between Avoid NY and Zatoichi? Watch this space.
