China’s Tianying Media has struck a deal with Stan Lee’s Pow! Entertainment to bring Lee’s 1970s comic strip The Virtue of Vera Valiant to the big screen, Deadline reports. The Chinese company purchased The Last Resort, a -script penned by Lee and Bob Underwood about a woman who inherits a resort hotel — in space. Lee and Underwood will executive produce alongside Sheri Rosenberg Kelton and Randy Mendelsohn, as well as producers Elliot Tong and Reinhard Schreiner.

 

Tong and Schreiner, founders of LA-based Roaring China, brought the project to Tianying who are now looking to go into production later this year. Roaring China aims to bring “A-list Hollywood talent to the Chinese market,” and Tianying is now in talks with top Chinese comedy directors to steer the movie.

 

“Stan Lee is a true legend of our time. We are so excited to be working with Pow! Entertainment and to be able to bring the amazing -script of The Last Resort to life,” said Tianying Media CEO Wu Jian. “We are focusing on the Chinese market, a rapidly-growing audience that is extremely hungry for new ideas and a variety of different films.”

 

Added Tong, “We want to keep this momentum going with more acquisitions. This is a great feat for Tianying Media and Chinese production as a whole.”

This has to be maybe the most obscure comic series Stan Lee ever created? Came out in the 1970s!
