Sam Raimi takes on another comic book adaptation

Just in time for Comic-Con, Sam Raimi has signed to helm and produce a pic based on graphic novel “Earp: Saints for Sinners” for DreamWorks, Radical Studios, Mandeville and Raimi’s Star Road Entertainment. Radical prexy Barry Levine produces with Mandeville’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman and Star Road’s Josh Donen.

“Earp: Saints for Sinners” is a modern-day re-imagining of Western hero Wyatt Earp fighting outlaws in a ravaged society where the only boomtown left is Las Vegas. “Earp” was created by Matt Cirulnick and Mandeville Films’ David Manpearl, and written by Cirulnick and Zachary Sherman. Cirulnick will adapt.
