This time around, it will be for TV, for 20th TV and the FOX television network, from writer Michael Green, whose credits include Heroes, Smallville, and Green Lantern. 3 Arts’ Erwin Stoff is also involved. Creators Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, however, will not be.
The project has a “put pilot” commitment, which means there are financial penalties if the project does not go further.
Per THR, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen is “about a group of Victorian age literary characters, including Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde who team up to fight a common enemy.” A film adaptation, which wasn’t very warmly received, was done in 2003.
