Benderspink and Benaroya Pictures are teaming on a feature adaptation of the comic “Marksmen”, says Deadline.
The film, based on the 2011 comic, “takes place in a dystopian future America where civil war over oil resources has left New San Diego as the last remaining bastion of peace and prosperity, protected by walls by the titular militant guards. Drake McCoy is the best of the Marksmen, who leads his small but skilled team as an invading army from the Lone Star State lays siege to their home in an attempt to steal the city’s energy technology.”
“This comic sets up a classic scenario of a small elite force defending their city against a much larger but less skillful army. It’s a great scenario set in a fresh environment. We think it has tremendous potential,” commented Benaroya.
