Bosco685 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Timothy Truman's Scout Comic Book Optioned For Film It looks like yet another comic book adaptation is heading for the big screen - just don’t except to see any superhero suiting up in this flick. In an exclusive report, Deadline has confirmed that Studio 8 optioned Scout for a live-action film. Created by Timothy Truman, Scout follows a man named Emanuel Santana in a dystopian, third-world reimagining of the U.S. The former world power has been outcasted by other nations due to its excessive greed and harmful ecological practices. Weighed down by political sanctions, the U.S. falls into disarray and embraces loose, criminal morals. The story’s hero is an Apache ex-ranger who starts out by investigating the mysterious disappearance of a young women. However, it isn’t long before he uncovers a huge, violent government conspiracy that threatens to destroy the country for good. Truman will acts as a consultant on the project while Braden Aftergood will produce. Chris MacBride will adapt and direct the live-action film, making Scout his newest pet project. Recently, the director sold his pitch for a sci-fi thriller movie sourced from the Amnesia comics. He also sold a thriller titled Echo back in 2014 and is working on a spy thriller for MRC at the moment. Pete Marino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davenport Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 It's good to see someone like Truman get attention. One of the all time top-tier comic book Illustrators imho. The man certainly does his homework on 'heavy metal' (firearms, weapons, armor, vehicles, aircraft, etc.) and it shines through. One of fandom's bright spots.

Met him through social media because he did a book that I used a lot in my RPG days. A super nice dude and i've come to really appreciate his art as well.

Bosco685 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Maybe now that Grimjack is getting traction via the Russo Brothers, Studio 8 will get moving on its Scout production? ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
