Imagine Entertainment and Radical Pictures will adapt the upcoming graphic novel "Legends: The Enchanted" as a feature film, with Ron Howard and Brian Grazer producing for Imagine and Barry Levine for Radical.
"Legends" is created, written and illustrated by Nick Percival as a twist on popular fairy tales and their characters:
"...Violently ripped from the pages of folklore come the 'Enchanted'. Supernatural immortals living in a dark, 'steampunk', creature-infested world where nature, technology and foul magic are in constant conflict. When the twisted, burnt remains of the half-wooden, half-mechanical warrior, 'Pinocchio' are discovered, wolf hunter 'Red Hood' and giant killer 'Jack' realize the fragile rules of their existence have been shattered. With the help of other powerful Enchanted (the mercenary, 'Goldilocks' and psychic exterminators, 'Hansel' and 'Gretel'), Jack and Red team up on an adventure to stop whatever, or whoever is destroying their powers..."
"The Enchanted are looked upon with fear and distrust by normal everyday folk and despised by their dark counterparts, known as 'The Wicked'," said creator Percival.
"Most of the Enchanted operate as vigilantes, outlaws, bounty hunters and so on - trying to find their place and purpose in a land that is growing increasingly hostile towards them. Armed with a hard attitude, unique abilities and customized weaponry, the Enchanted's world is shattered when they discover that some unknown enemy has found a way to break through their mystic immortality and begins slaughtering them one by one beginning with the killing of the half bionic/half wooden warrior, 'Pinocchio'."Click the images to enlarge and Sneak Peek "Legends: The Enchanted"...
