According to Variety, Chuck Russell ("The Mask") is adapting the "Way of the Rat" screenplay from the eponymous CrossGen comicbook, a martial arts action-adventure set in Hong Kong that involves a young and acrobatic hero, a wise-talking monkey and a princess who’s handy with blades. Frank Darabont’s Darkwoods productions is also developing "Doc Savage," based on the pulp novels. Darabont says he will most likely not be directing though.
