Lee Daniels will direct superhero pic “Stealth”, based on an upcoming Skybound/Image comic created by “Walking Dead” creator and executive producer Robert Kirkman and Marc Silverstri. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, known for their work on the original “Iron Man”, are penning the screenplay.
Universal Pictures house the project, which “Precious” and “The Butler” director Daniels will produce alongside his partner Pam Williams.
In the first issue of “Stealth”, released in March, we’ll be introduced to a very different kind of superhero – as Deadline, who have the scoop on the project, explain :
For decades, Stealth has waged war on crime in Detroit, but now he’s taken his pursuit of justice too far. Only reporter Tony Barber knows that behind Stealth’s reckless behavior is an older man battling Alzheimer’s—his father. A father unwilling to accept that he’s no longer the hero this city needs… with enemies all too eager to force his retirement.
Producing for the Skybound film team will be Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst and Sean Furst.
